Details

Available in 29er Diameter Only | PURPOSE - Trail

Founded by the spirit of racing, the Sector carbon rim is the narrowest and lightest trail rim with Convergence Technology. With data driven improvements, the Sector utilizes Convergence Rim Technology that hits 33% stronger and rides 18% more damped than anything we have created in the past.

The Convergence lineup comes in three lip-to-lip internal widths:

Sector 28, Triad 30 & Fuse 33

Select the desired width to give the optimal tire profile and feel in order to achieve a confident contact patch and greatly improve the control of the bike.

Convergence front rims are designed with a 28-hole drilling pattern while the rear rim has a 32-hole pattern. This drilling pattern utilizes Convergences rims shape for greater balance and strength.

The standard wheelset comes with Sapim Race spokes. The Colour of the spokes and nipples is BLACK.

All Wheelsets come tubeless ready with Stan's No Tube Tape & Valves

Considering a custom color? Although most colors are readily available, occasionally, custom combinations may require additional lead time. Rest assured, our standard BLACK hub choice is always an option for those seeking immediate dispatch

Our current build time for all in-stock components is 2 - 5 days. We carry a large selection of hubs/rims/spokes, however, some custom colours and configurations may only be available on backorder.

Inventory Note: We stay well stocked on Revolution and Convergence rims & Black Hubs but often have to order in less popular rim choices or custom hub colour.

Please be aware that lead times may vary between components. We advise contacting info@essentialcycles.com or completing our custom wheel build form if you would like to confirm ETA before purchasing; our Build Pages do not reflect real-time inventory levels!

Taking our time and diving deep into testing, we came up with the perfect balance of weight, strength and ride feel. Drawing on all of our data from Union 29 and Union 27.5 rims, we built a new test protocol and focused on single-wall impact failures. We introduced a new ZRT material from Boston Materials and placed it in critical areas. We completely redesigned the layup of each rim from the ground up, changing all possible orientations, angles, and processes.

The result is a 29 and 27.5 rim with 32% improved in impact strength over the rims we tested.

Traditionally, the interface of where the nipple sits in the rim has never been ideal. The Convergence's external shape drives the internal profile. With 7.5° alternating faces, when drilled, it gives the nipple the perfect perpendicular angle with no point loading. This feature improves fatigue on the nipples and spokes, providing unrivaled durability and prolonged service intervals.

The Convergence rim is an evolution of shape that radically changes how the spoke and rim interact.

Using the Revolution line of rims as a benchmark, we aimed to improve an already fantastic ride experience. By reducing the depth of the rims to 18.5mm and working on both laminate orientations and materials, we isolated the cause of both the radial and lateral levers of the rim design. The Convergence gives the rider a data-backed increase in lateral stiffness and a wheelset that dampens the rough chatter of the trail. The Convergence line of rims offers the best ride experience to date.

The best of everything, in one rim.
