Alienation Mischief Rim

No, the Alienation Mischief is strictly designed for brakeless use. It lacks the necessary sidewall surface for brake pads, so you should only use this if you are running a brakeless setup.

The 4D drilling process angles the spoke holes to align perfectly with the hub flange. This reduces stress on the spokes and prevents binding, which creates a stronger, more durable wheel build without needing heavy eyelets.

Yes, the Mischief is part of the Tubeless Compatible System (TCS). It is designed to work with tubeless setups, though it remains fully compatible with standard clincher tires and tubes.

This rim is specifically drilled for a 3-cross lacing pattern. You should stick to this pattern to ensure the spoke angles align correctly with the 4D-drilled holes for optimal strength.

The G69 (6069 T6) aluminum is significantly stronger and more rigid than the standard 6061 T6 alloy found on most entry-level rims. This allows the rim to be exceptionally lightweight at 290 grams while maintaining high impact resistance.

Yes, the rim includes a valve plug. This is useful if you are running a specific valve type or need to cover the unused valve hole, ensuring a clean, sealed setup.
