Spank 359 Vibrocore DT 350 Hybrid hand-built wheelset

A Spank 359 Vibrocore rim set laced 32-spoke front and rear to DT 350 Hybrid hubs, 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", 27.5" or mullet; mullet means 29" front and 27.5" rear. Read it off your tyre sidewall.
• Rear axle — Boost 12 × 148 only on this wheelset: measure the inside of the dropouts.
• Front axle — Boost 15 × 110 only on this wheelset: check the fork lowers.
• Rotor mount — Centre Lock only on this wheelset: check your rotors.
• Cassette — the freehub body follows it: Shimano 12-speed MTB is Micro Spline, SRAM Eagle is XD, Shimano 11-speed and older (and CUES LG) is HG. Offered here: Shimano HG, Shimano Micro Spline or SRAM XD.

Who it is for

For e-MTB riding — the rear hub is an e-bike-duty hub. Riding without a motor? The same rim on standard hubs is lighter and cheaper: see our Spank 359 Vibrocore DT 350 and Hope Pro 5 kits.

The rider's questions

• How much can it carry? Max system weight (rider, bike and gear) 120 kg — the Spank 359 Vibrocore rating, the lowest-rated part of the build.
• What tyres fit? 2.0–2.6" tyres are Spank's recommended range for a 30.5 mm inner width. The tyre's own maximum pressure applies; the rim sets none.
• E-bike? Yes — the DT 350 Hybrid is DT's e-bike-duty hub: DT recommends the Hybrid above 55 Nm of motor torque and requires it above 100 Nm.
• How fast does the hub engage? 24 points of engagement — Ratchet System 24, 15° between clicks.
• Warranty? DT Swiss parts 24 months from purchase; our build work is guaranteed. Any claim comes back to Tune Cycles — see the Warranty tab.
• How long does it take? Built to order from supplier stock — we confirm the build date by email when you order.

Everything in the Wheelset 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 (Muc-Off No Puncture 140 ml), RT-CL700 203 mm Centre Lock rotor, the Shimano SM-RTAD05 adapter (runs a 6-bolt rotor on a Centre Lock hub; not with SM-RT86 / RT76 aluminium-carrier rotors), a Panzer tyre insert for e-bike loads, a cassette for your freehub body, tyres to suit (sizes above). Rotors: one per wheel, to match your rotor mount and your brake caliper's size range.

How we build it

Every wheel is laced by hand in Marrickville, built to Spank's rules (butted spokes, flat-head brass nipples with a washer under each, 3-cross lacing) and brought up to tension evenly (120-140 kgf drive side), stress-relieved and trued, then checked again before it is packed. Tubeless tape (30 mm) is fitted to the rim; add valves and sealant and it is ready for tyres.

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