Kah’s DT Swiss 240s single speed hub laced to Stan’s Alpine rim
Kah needed a matching rear for his Lefty front wheel which I built earlier in the year.
After a long wait the DT Swiss 240s single speed hub arrived. After some pink decals it was ready for Kah.
The Alpine is the lightest “non-race” rim in the Stan’s range and is essentially a newer version of the ZTR Olympic.
DT Swiss Revolutions and alloy nipples keep the weight down – since the DT hub has wide flanges these spokes are plenty stiff enough for all of Kah’s horsepowers.
I also fitted a pair of DT Swiss 36 point engagement rings to make for snappier acceleration and a much better noise when coasting.
