Frequently asked questions
Does the rim include the tubeless tape or valves?
The product package includes the main rim unit only. You will need to source your own tubeless tape, valves, and sealant to complete your tubeless setup. Race Face provides additional technical resources, such as an Installation Guide for Tubeless Ready Wheels, to assist you with the build process.
Is this rim suitable for rough mountain trails?
Absolutely. Riders have put the ARC Offset Rim through challenging conditions, including:
- Hardtail trail riding: Helping to absorb rough terrain rather than beating the rider up.
- Freeride and Enduro: Withstanding big jumps, spins, and high-intensity racing.
- Longevity: Users report that the rims stay true and remain dent-free even after a year of heavy use on demanding courses.
Is the rim compatible with tubeless tires?
Yes, the ARC Offset Rim is tubeless-ready. It features a reliable rim bead design specifically engineered to securely hold tubeless tire setups, ensuring a dependable seal for aggressive riding conditions.
Can I use these for an e-bike build?
Yes, absolutely. The ARC Offset Rim is constructed from high-grade 6069 aluminum alloy, which provides the strength and durability required for a wide range of mountain bike disciplines, including e-bike applications, aggressive trail riding, and gravity riding.
Does the offset design simplify my wheel build?
Yes, the asymmetrical design shifts the nipple bed, which helps create more balanced spoke tension across the wheel. This not only makes the build process more efficient for your wheel builder but also results in a significantly stiffer and stronger wheel overall.
Is the rim compatible with diverse riding disciplines?
Absolutely. These rims are engineered to be versatile performers across a wide range of mountain bike disciplines, including:
- Cross Country (XC)
- All-Mountain
- Enduro
- Freeride & E-MTB
The 6069 aluminum construction provides the necessary durability to handle everything from big jumps to long days on technical trails.
