Wild Eye Wheels
AVE’s wheels are fast, rigid and can withstand the rigors of freestyle riding, be it park, dirt or street. Rider tested for more than three years, they feature a straight-pull spoke design that boosts lateral rigidity and wheel strength while reducing weight.
The hubs are fully CNC-machined and feature 10- and 14-millimeter chromoly axles that roll on super-smooth sealed bearings. Extra-large, 22-millimeter front and 25-millimeter rear axle flanges create a substantial clamping surface between the hub and the dropouts, further reducing lateral flex of the entire bike. Straight-pull spokes are approximately 30 percent stronger than J-bend spokes and there are no hub flanges to break.
They come in all-black or Wild Eye graphics with black or white rims and include six extra spokes. Replacement spokes also are sold separately.
The Breakdown
- Ave 31.5-millimeter wide, welded aluminum alloy, double-wall, 32-hole rims.
- AVE Sealed bearing, full-CNC-machined, straight-pull hub.
- Extra-large 22-millimeter front and 25-millimeter rear axle flanges create a substantial clamping surface between the hub and the dropouts reducing lateral bike flex.
- Hollow, female front axle paired with Grade-8 steel, 10-millimeter, male bolts that are strong enough for grinding.
- 14-millimeter, hollow rear axle is 5-millimeter, Hex-key indexed, for easy maintenance. Axle is just long enough for pegs and nuts—nothing extra and no unnecessary weight. 17-millimeter Hex-head fastening bolts keep the wheel secure.
- 2 x 6 pawl system (2 sets of 6 pawls) with 72 points of Micro Engagement; 9-tooth, right-hand drive only.
- 32 stainless steel straight-pull, triple-butted spokes with 3-cross lacing front and rear. This is comparable in strength to a 36-hole, J-bend, 4-cross lacing wheel.
- Stainless steel spokes and nipples
- Includes six extra spokes. Replacement spokes also are sold separately.
- Available in all-black or black with Wild Eye graphics
