When we developed the new Fade DJ frame, we weren't satisfied with the wheel options available. We wanted a wider rim with modern construction, akin to an MTB rim, so we partnered with Fratelli Industries to produce the Bank DJ rim. The profile is internally reinfoced like a DH rim, with a convex shape in the bed for extra strength. The 6061 alloy rim has a sleeved joint rather than being pinned or welded to avoid weak-spots, and is shot-peened prior to anodising. The wide profile offers stability for modern, high-volume DJ tyres. All-in-all we think this is the ideal set up for 26" dirt jump and pump track bikes.
As featured in our UK built Bank DJ 26" Wheelset.
