CADEX 42 Disc Wheel

A hookless rim design requires the use of tubeless-ready tires that are specifically approved for hookless compatibility. Because the rim walls lack the traditional 'hook' to mechanically lock the tire bead in place, it is critical to check your tire manufacturer's specifications to ensure a safe and secure fit.

The CADEX 42 Disc Wheel is designed for Center Lock disc brake systems. As long as your bike frame uses a 142x12mm thru-axle standard and you are using Center Lock rotors, this wheel will integrate seamlessly.

The 42mm depth is widely considered the 'sweet spot' for versatility. It provides a significant aerodynamic advantage over shallower rims while remaining stable and predictable in gusty or variable wind conditions, making it an excellent choice for hilly terrain.

While the rim is optimized for a tubeless setup, you can use inner tubes provided you are using tires that are compatible with hookless rims. However, running them tubeless is highly recommended to fully realize the performance benefits of the rim design and lower rolling resistance.

The custom-tuned aero carbon spokes are significantly lighter and stiffer than traditional steel spokes. This reduces rotational weight for faster acceleration and improves power transfer, resulting in a more responsive and efficient ride feel.
