PAMIRA ROHLOFF (CHAIN VERSION) WHEELS

All of our wheels are handbuilt by an experienced wheel builder.

​

Rims: We fit the Andra 40 heavy duty rime most often on the Pamira, but if you'd prefer a light, tough but not quite as tough rim then the the DT Swiss E512 disc rims area good choice.

​

Hubs: For more info on the Rohloff hub, please see the transmission section

The front hub we use on the Pamira is Shimano Deore XT - Shimano’s touring hub which can be easily serviced anywhere in the world. As per the Shimano non-disc hubs, they use a combination of contact and labyrinth sealing protecting the internal workings from mud and dirt. 

​

We’re big fans of the 36h hole M756 XT disc hub because of steel axle, it is proven to perform better for the expedition cyclist carrying a heavy load. These hubs have a standard six bolt rotor fitting. The XT M8000 32 hole is also available.

​

The front hub we most often fit however is the Son 28 dynamo hub upgrade. The drag is minimal and the bearings excellent. 

​

Spokes: We use Rohloff specific spokes and for the front wheel double butted spokes

Tyres: There are a range of standard options. These include Schwalbe Nobby Nic 27.5” x 2.35”, Marathon Plus MTB 27.5" x 2.35", Schwalbe Marathon Almotion 27.5” x 2.15” rigid, Schwalbe Marathon 700c/29” x 2.0”, Schwalbe Energizer Plus 700c/29” x 2.0”.

​

The tyre we fit most often to the Pamira is the Marathon Mondial Evo 27.5 x 2.0” upgrade. Other tyre upgrade options include the 700c/29” version of the Marathon Mondial Evo and the Evo folding version of the Marathon Almotion in either the 27.5” or 700c/29”

All of our wheels are handbuilt in Sussex. Wheels hand built by an experienced builder can significantly increase its strength versus those machine built.
