DT Swiss EX511 Hope Pro 5 Singlespeed rear wheel — hand-built

A DT Swiss EX511 rim laced 32-spoke to a Hope Pro 5 Trials/Singlespeed rear hub, built by hand in our Marrickville workshop, tensioned, stress-relieved and trued before it leaves the bench. Our Pro wheel build and tubeless tape fitted are included and show as two free lines in your cart.

Before you order — what your bike decides

• Wheel size — 29" or 27.5". Read it off your tyre sidewall.
• Rear axle — 12 × 148 Boost, 12 × 142 or 135 × 10 bolt-up: pick it under Hub Dimensions. 148 mm Boost is most modern frames, 142 mm older thru-axle frames; 135 mm bolt-up is the 10 mm bolt-through axle on dirt jump and trials frames with horizontal dropouts (no quick release). Measure the inside of the dropouts.
• Rotor mount — 6-bolt only.
• Drivetrain — one gear. The hub has Hope's splined singlespeed driver: fit a splined singlespeed cog and spacers to set your chain line. The cog is not included — ask us if you need one matched to your chainring.

Colour: pick it from the dropdown.

Who it is for

For singlespeed trail and enduro riding, pump tracks and all-round singlespeed hardtails — ASTM 4, so not for bike parks or big drops. Want gears? See the Hope Pro 5 version of this wheel. Sold as a rear wheel; ask us for the matching front wheel.

The rider's questions

• How much can it carry? Max system weight (rider, bike and gear) 130 kg — the DT Swiss EX511 rating, the lowest-rated part of the build.
• What tyres fit? 2.1–2.7" tyres are DT's recommended range for a 30 mm inner width; 1.85"–2.0" and 2.8" are possible. The tyre's own maximum pressure applies; the rim sets none.
• E-bike? No — Hope makes the Pro 5 E for e-bikes; this is a trials and singlespeed hub.
• How fast does the hub engage? 108 points of engagement — Hope's offset 4-pawl Trials/Singlespeed freehub, 3.33° between clicks.
• Warranty? DT Swiss parts 24 months from purchase; Hope hubs under Hope's manufacturer warranty through the Australian distributor; our build work is guaranteed. Any claim comes back to Tune Cycles — see the Warranty tab.
• How long does it take? Built to order — we confirm the build date by email when you order.
• Colours? Hubs in Black, Silver, Red, Blue, Orange or Purple; the rims are black.

Everything in the Rear Wheel box is built in. The rows under Upgrades are optional: tick what you want and the price updates. If you want us to lace a rim or hub you already own, that is a workshop job — contact us for a quote.

Sold separately (shown with this kit): tubeless sealant, a 6-bolt rotor to suit your brake, a singlespeed cog and spacers, and tyres to suit (sizes above).

How we build it

Every wheel is laced by hand in Marrickville, brought up to tension evenly to the lower of the rim and hub limits (1200 N), stress-relieved and trued, then checked again before it is packed. Tubeless tape (32 mm) is fitted to the rim; add a valve and sealant and it is ready for a tyre.

Tune Cycles builds and fits these wheels. If you are unsure what your frame takes, ask us before you order.
