Flanges receive our new special treatments (military standard) to handle radial lacing stress. To minimize torsional static forces flanges self-align under spoke lacing tension.

The smart B-Lock securing system does not require quick release, for a further weight saving

Titanium Bolts heads gives a clean look without hurting you when bike is folded and carried

Radial lacing is allowed on internal and external flange side and only with D/B spokes (central section equivalent to Ø 1.5mm). Micro-tuner allows an easy and quick bearing preload adjustment.

Wheel building

CyberFront SL-B / CyberRear SL-2B wheel-building

Here you find all the necessary instructions to realize your dream wheels with pre-calculated spoke lengths

Follow instruction step by step:

1)Measure your "spoke-end diameter" (not ERD)

2)Find front hub spoke length on table A

3)Find your rear spoke length (left side) on table B

4)Find your rear spoke length and lacing pattern (drive side) on table C

(All measures are expressed in mm)

4)Lace the wheel respecting correct lacing pattern (see below)

Maximum spoke tension:- Refer to specific manuals

Warning: spoke lacing and tensioning require skills and experience, refer to an expert professional wheel builder for these operations


1) "Spoke-End-Diameter"

Rim manufacturers always offer ERD figures however we warmly recommend to precisely measure the rim+nipple combination

Basically a correct spoke calculation requires exact "spoke-end diameter" and rim drilling

Spoke-end diameter depends on your rim internal diameter and nipple type

Spoke-End-Diameter

How to measure "Spoke-End-Diameter"

Spoke-end diameter depends on your rim and nipple type and length.

Below you see how to measure SED for both nipple types:
External nipple configuration
Internal nipple configuration

Take measures very precisely because a well correct nipple/spoke assembly accepts a spoke-length tolerance of +/-1mm only.
(All measures are expressed in mm)


External nipple configuration

1) Insert two J-spokes (random size) with the nipples (of your final build) into 2 opposite rim holes.

This simple trick helps to keep spokes aligned and slightly tensioned.

2) Precisely measure distance between nipples.

Be careful to take measure between the 2 nipple-ends.

3) Add 2x by the nipple height (of your final build) to the measure above.
This gives "Spoke-End-Diameter".
Note: with slotted nipples measure height inside the cut.

cutted nipple

 


Internal nipple configuration

You can get the necessary data following the procedure below:
1) Precisely measure outer rim diameter (
A).

2) Insert a nipple of your final build into a hole (use a spoke to hold nipple in position).
3) Precisely measure distance between nipple-top and outer rim diameter (
B).

This is the correct caliper positioning inside the rim (don't cut your rim!)


4) A-2B = "Spoke-End-Diameter".

 

Bearing Options

All Extralite hubs and wheels are offered with a choice of ready installed bearings among the best available today.
All bearings feature low-friction rubber seals on both sides.

Hyper hubs, that are specifically designed for off-road use, feature an additional external O-r seal that protects the bearing seals.


Internal bearing selection
Each bearing unit is individually selected by Extralite staff, we check seal drag, rolling smoothness then select and divide them 3 different fitting classes of internal diameter, each class is 2 microns by the next one.  

Despite all our bearings come directly from very high quality manufacturers our staff individually checks each unit for rolling smoothness and bore dimensional tolerance.
Extralite staff checks rolling smoothness and seal drag resistance first, then all the units passed are selected and divided in 3 different fitting classes of internal bore, each class is 2 microns by the next one. All that allows our famous truly perfect axle to bearing fitting that together with our precise bearing preload offers very high mileage with minimal rolling resitance.

Read well these basic info before ordering the parts.
Bearing replacement is not an easy operation as it may seem.
Additionally the installation of any kind of Ceramic bearings requires a very good specific expertise.
Extralite offers complete tool-sets for hub maintenance: the Pro-tool kit 1 and Bearing-sitter includes bearing inserting tools in every bearing sizes used on UltraHubs / HyperHubs / CyberHubs.
If your hub was originally equipped with standard bearings it will probably require micro-tolerance adjustments to axle and bearing fittings, this
to allow proper bearing rotation and durability (these operations are for real experts only). Alternatively send your hub to us for this servicing.
