Cadex Disc Wheel

The hookless rim design creates a smoother transition between the tire sidewall and the rim, which improves aerodynamics and reduces weight. It also allows for a wider internal rim profile, which supports the tire better for improved cornering grip and impact absorption.

While the hookless design is compatible with many modern tubeless tires, you must ensure the tire is specifically rated for hookless rims and adheres to ETRTO standards. Always check the tire manufacturer's compatibility chart to ensure the tire can handle the pressure limits of a hookless setup.

The generous 25mm internal width creates a more uniform tire shape, preventing the 'lightbulb' effect where the tire bulges over the rim. This wider footprint increases the contact patch for better handling and allows you to run lower tire pressures, which significantly improves comfort and traction on rough roads.

Ceramic bearings are harder, smoother, and more resistant to corrosion than steel, resulting in significantly lower rolling resistance. This means less energy is lost to friction, allowing you to maintain speed more efficiently over long distances.

Yes, the high-tensile carbon spokes are replaceable. However, because they are integrated into the wheel's tensioning system, they should be serviced by a professional mechanic familiar with CADEX wheel systems to ensure proper tension and wheel trueness.

While the CADEX 36 is optimized for road performance, its 25mm internal width and robust carbon construction make it quite capable on light gravel or mixed-surface rides. Its primary design focus is on climbing efficiency and handling in varied conditions, rather than heavy-duty off-road use.
