Oohbah The unique OohBah profile allows Spank to manufacture thinner walled, wider profiled, lighter rims without sacrificing strength or rigidity. Wider rims mean stiffer wheels and more tire spread, leading to greater traction and improved comfort, and tire performance. The “wave” shape of the OohBah inner rim adds strength and support to the vertical rim flange walls and prevent buckling. Normal straight or curved tube wells must be much thicker, and by default heavier, to offer the same support.

Over the last year we have been focused on improving the performance and longevity of braking on our road rims. As a result we introduce the ENVE grey pad that better manages heat, minimizes abrasion, and performs in wet conditions. The ENVE grey pad will be supplied with all new wheel sets and available for purchase aftermarket as a composite specific brake pad.ENVE brake pads are sold in pairs 2 brake blocks for the use on one wheel you require 2 sets for a complete bike.
This rim sports a stiff alloy construction, ensuring you have plenty of control whether you’re on the climb or the descent. The 4D spoke drilling helps to remove lateral loading and disperse tension, so you get a smooth, powerful roll even over gravel. Plus, the TCS 2.0 technology ensures easy, dependable installation of tubeless tyres with a smooth, dependable interface between rim and tyre. Technologies: UST Tubeless Ready: The UST concept improves traction, control and comfort while reducing inertia and flats. TCS 2.0 Technology: This refined version of the “Tubeless Compatible System” offers the same high performance, lightweight mountain bike rim structure, but is now easier to install and more dependable.
The Swissstop Flash Evo replacement brake pads for carbon rims provide top performance braking on dry rims and even better braking on wet rims. Constructed with a Black Prince compound which is the latest carbon rim compound that provides superior power, control and modulation. As a result of the Black Prince compound braking distances are significantly reduced in all conditions.Sold as a set of 4 pad inserts for 2 complete brakes.
The Spank SPIKE Race 33 features the unique Oohbah technology, found only on Spank rims and wheels. Traditionally, the central channel of a rim is slightly curved or flat on most rims, but the Spank-specific Oohbah design features a wave-like pattern in the centre. This Oohbah feature in the centre of the rim adds exceptional strength and makes the entire rigid and creates greater lateral stiffness, traits commonly only found on wheels that are much heavier. This structural benefit also allows Spank to make rims that are wider without having to add extra material, which would in turn make them heavier. Technologies: Bead Bite: At an incredible range of pressures, Bead Bite is the solution to keeping your tyres burp free and fixed in place. Bead Bite rim technology enhances tubeless use with tyres of all types and with a greater range of air pressures. Bead Bite rims have 6 rows of tiny ridges that run along the vertical and horizontal faces of the bead seats. These tiny teeth create air seals between the rim and tyre as the bead conforms into them under air pressure. They dramatically increase frictional forces on the tyre bead, reducing the beads’ ability to move vertically or horizontally (thus improving tyre stability and reducing burps). The bead literally becomes trapped between the vertical and horizontal ridges, even at very low air pressures. Even in tubed applications, Bead Bite rims tend to allow much lower air pressures with reduced risk of pinch flats Oohbah: The unique OohBah profile allows Spank to manufacture thinner walled, wider profiled, lighter rims without sacrificing strength or rigidity. Wider rims mean stiffer wheels and more tyre spread, leading to greater traction and improved comfort, and tyre performance. The “wave” shape of the OohBah inner tube adds strength and support to the vertical rim flange walls and prevents buckling. Normal straight or curved tube wells must be much thicker, and by default heavier, to offer the same support ERD ++: In recent years many new standards of nipples have been introduced, and nipple head heights vary. For this reason, Spank communicates ERD without including nipple head height, so the user can add the exact height of the nipples they have chosen for their build, (Inner Diameter of the Rim + 2X Spoke Bed Wall Thickness = ERD ++).
