Dirt Hoops to SHRED
Mo-Spo Tech
Moulded spoke hole technology allows us to reinforce the spoke hole and nipple bed area yet reduce the bulk of unnecessary material inbetween spoke holes. The result is a light rim, with no compromise on strength.
Chunky Hookless Bead
We’ve increased the impact strength of our hookless rims by widening the Dirt Hoops hookless bead with a chunky 5mm foundation.
Tubeless Ready
Tubeless tyres for bicycles have been one of the greatest improvements to overall ride quality and reliability. Setting your Dirt Hoops up tubeless will help reduce pinch flats and punctures, decrease rolling resistance and increase control.
DT Swiss hubs & Sapim CX Ray spokes
Our favourite hub/spoke combination, the DT Swiss 350 Centre Lock Straight Pull hub and Sapim CX-Ray Aero Bladed spoke. It is a fine example of a balance between weight, reliability and performance when paired with Curve rims. This combination has proven itself time and again under the harshest conditions and treatment we can throw at it.
What else?
Dirt Hoops wheelsets arrive tubeless-ready, with tubeless rim tape, valves and centre-lock rotor lockings. Simply install tubeless-ready tyres, sealant and inflate with a tubeless floor pump (In most cases a compressor is unnecessary).Then go ride!

FAQs
| What Tyres Can I Run? | So many choices! A 25mm internal rim typically works well within a range of tyres from 1.75" - 2.5" (44mm - 64mm). Some narrower tyres on wider rims will square off too much, and some wider tyres on narrower rims will fold and squirm due to lack of sidewall support. This is more common at the extremes (eg a knobby 44mm on 25mm internal width) |
| Why Brass Nipples? | Although brass nipples are slightly heavier than alloy nipples, they are far less likely to suffer corrosion and premature failure. They are durable, serviceable and ideal for extended usage |
| Can I Customise the Build? | Definitely. Dirt Hoops are available as rim only. You can then configure your wheels any way you want. As long as your hubs of choice are 28h. |
| Why only 28h? | We believe 28H is ideal for most off-road applications. Through a custom build you can obtain a competitive Weight Weenie-ish XC configurations up to super robust expedition strength wheels. |
| What Tyre Pressure to Run? | Wow... We get asked this so often and we don't even manufacture tyres. Follow the guide on your tyre and have fun experimenting +/- a few PSI's for feel. |
