A hand-built 27.5" / 650B front wheel on the Alex DM18 rim with a Novatec sealed hub — the spec a mobile mechanic fits every week, built to order rather than machine-laced, at a price that competes with off-the-shelf wheels.

  • Alex DM18 36H rim, black
  • Novatec sealed hub — quick-release, 100 mm front spacing
  • Rim brake brake mount
  • Schrader valve drilling
  • Mach 1 spokes
  • Hand-built to order by our wholesaler's wheel builders; trued and tensioned before fitting

Built to order. This wheel is laced and trued for your order; we'll confirm the build and fitting date within one business day. Tune Cycles can fit it, transfer your tyre, tube, cassette and rotor, and check the bike over at the same visit.

Fit: Fits a 27.5" / 650B front with quick-release, 100 mm front spacing and rim brake brakes. Tyre width follows the rim — ask us if you're unsure of the rim's inner width for your tyre.

Built wheels are covered against defects in materials and workmanship, including the build itself (spoke tension and true) for the first 6 months; normal wear, impact damage and misuse are not covered. For warranty support, return the wheel to Tune Cycles with your proof of purchase and we'll manage the claim with the supplier on your behalf. This is in addition to your rights under the Australian Consumer Law.
