The Velocity Blunt 35 is a mountain bike rim with a 35mm external width, designed to accommodate wider tires for improved traction and stability on rough terrain. The 29er size refers to the diameter of the rim, which is 29 inches or 700c.
The rear wheel features a DT Swiss 240 hub, which is known for its durability and smooth rolling. The hub has a 12x148mm Boost spacing, which provides greater wheel stiffness and improved handling. The Boost standard refers to a wider hub spacing that moves the chainline outwards, creating more clearance for wider tires.
The wheel also features a Centerlock disc brake mount, which is a newer standard that allows for easier and faster rotor installation and removal. The disc brakes provide reliable stopping power in all weather conditions and are commonly used in mountain biking.
Overall, the Velocity Blunt 35 29er Rear Wheel with a DT Swiss 240 hub, Boost spacing, and Centerlock disc brake mount is a high-quality and reliable option for mountain bikers looking for improved traction and stability on rough terrain.
