SRAM Eagle XG-1299 Cassette Cassettes
  • £429.00

This high-quality 12 speed cassette is part of the renowned Eagle series and it's lighter, simpler, tougher as well as easier to use. Engineered for increased strength, while keeping its weight to a minimum, it's also a great choice of upgrade for riders who want to enjoy smoother, quieter shifting operation on their trail adventures. MTB Cassette with X-Dome Technology The X-Dome Eagle cassette has no peer. It buried the last dangling shred of an argument in favour of a mountain bike front derailleur. And now, its 10-50 tooth gear range has opened the door for an entire ecosystem of Eagle groupsets. Designed for use with SRAM's proven, reliable XD driver body, this 12 speed, cassette offers an optimal 500-percent gear range. In independent tests the X-Dome architecture is proven to yield one of the strongest cassettes on the market. Updated shifting characteristics improve both inboard and outboard shifting, as well as chain retention. This cassette matches up perfectly in performance and colour to XX1 Eagle AXS enabled componentry. Technologies: X-Dome: X-Dome technology creates an incredibly lightweight, precise and strong cassette. The open design aids in mud clearance, giving you cleaner shifting performance and longer component life. Eagle: Eagle technology represents updated 1x drivetrain technology. Eagle is a lighter, simpler, more durable, and easier to use drivetrain. Eagle features revised 1x components, engineered for even greater durability and performance while maintaining a significant weight advantage over other drivetrain solutions. Eagle technology also provides an expanded gear range of 520%, which is equal to 2x11 drivetrains. X-Glide 2: X-Glide 2 is next generation of SRAM X-Glide technology optimised for the Eagle 12-speed cassette. It provides quick, precise, power-on shifting performance throughout the gear range, and increases chain retention on larger cogs. XD Driver Body: XD is a cassette driver body design that allows the use of a 10-tooth small cog and provides an improved interface with the cassette. Rainbow Colourway: Is perfectly matched to work with XX1 Eagle AXS. Updated shifting features create a smoother, quieter system with enhanced inboard and outboard shift performance. XD driver body compatible. Manufacturer's Part Number: 00.2418.098.000

Sector R26 Road Wheelset Wheel Sets
  • £419.99
  • RRP £449.99
  • Saving you £7

This road bike wheelset features a hard-wearing aluminium construction, which makes it perfect at handling all the knocks and bumps associated with unpredictable terrain conditions. Designed to transform the feel of your bike, this wheelset includes a CNC hub, Pillar Wing Spokes and mid-depth aerodynamic rims, which stand up to the brutality of all riding conditions, while increasing the feel and performance of your bike. It Starts in the Middle The responsive feel of this Kinesis wheelset begins at the hub. The R26 features our lightweight CNC hub that maximises stiffness and torque transfer, with angled flanges that follow the path of the spoke, ensuring stress is kept minimal at this critical junction. Inside, we’ve used Revo Cream bearings for miles and miles of smooth-spinning performance. Wing Power The R26 road bike wheelset is built with the Pillar Wing Spoke. Unlike regular flat bladed spokes, the Wing Spoke features an ovalized profile inspired by the nose cone of a missile. This addresses several issues that are present with flat bladed spokes. Firstly, flat-bladed spokes are optimized for a fully laminar airflow coming directly from the front. In the real world, airflow is turbulent and from many directions. The Pillar Wing profile is aerodynamic through different yaw angles. The second advantage of the Wing spoke lies in the bigger cross-section. The thin nature of flat bladed spokes means that sideways deflection is high. Furthermore, they fail to adequately deal with braking forces generated from the hub, such as the case with disc brake bikes. Thanks to the Pillar Wing Spoke the R26 road wheelset is stiff when sprinting and cornering, and extremely responsive under braking and acceleration. The Rim is All Round Those that have been unfortunate enough to ride a deep section aluminium rim know all too well that they are heavy, stiff, and jarring. Any aerodynamic advantage that such a rim offers is offset by the lack of vibration damping, which ironically fatigues you faster and slows you down. By contrast, the R26 wheelset features a tubeless-ready rim that is 26mm deep, occupying the sweet spot between aerodynamics, ride quality and weight. The large 19.5mm internal width works great with everything from 23mm to 36mm tyres, but especially well with tyres in the 28 to 32mm range, which is quickly becoming the de facto choice for anyone not riding on the track.   Item Top Features Continued: End Caps: (Front) 100x12mm or QR / (Rear) 135mm QR or 142x12mm Extras: Tubeless Tape & Valves
