Crank Brothers Iodine 2 Wheelset - 29in - 2013
The Crank Brothers Iodine 2 Wheelset is durable, light, and easy to maintain. Beyond that, they are just plain cool to look at. What more could you want? The attention-getting, twin-spoke design has been around for a few years, and Crank Brothers is not one to rest on its laurels. For the 2014 wheelsets, Crank Brothers set new, higher standards for the entire wheel, rim, hubs, and even spoke interface.
The new Iodine rims were widened by 2mm to a 23mm internal width. Using newer methods of machining, there were simultaneously able to reduce weight. The result is a reasonably weighted 1910-gram wheelset. By adding an additional 2mm, vertical compliance was maintained, while lateral stillness was increased. Coupled with this are redesigned hubs. Crank Brothers has a warranty rate of below 1%, which is impressive in the world of mountain bike wheels. The new hubs also include endcaps that make them compatible with a variety of axle types, from standard 9mm quick-release to 15mm thru-axles.
To make truing a cinch, the Iodine wheels retain their elongated aluminum nipple/shortened steel spoke interface. This also reduces weight, and increases wheel responsiveness.
The Crank Brothers Iodine 2 29in Wheelset comes in the the color Black/orange. The set weighs 1910 grams. Out of the box, the front wheel comes ready for a 15mm thru-axle, but 20mm endcaps are included, as well. The rear wheel arrives with axle caps for 142x12mm frames, but 135x10mm endcaps are included, too.
