GSport Ribcage Rim:
The Ribcage is GSport's strongest rim. It features thick outer walls, cross-over-spoke lacing, & patented “Rib” design.
Strong and Lightweight
At 500 grams, the strength to weight ratio of the Ribcage cannot be matched. The entire design revolves around the use of a proprietary high strength aluminum alloy made specially for us in an on-site foundry. It is a lightweight rim that can take anything you throw at it.
Patented Ribs
With the Ribcage, the spoke holes are re-enforced w/ patented ribs that support the sides of each spoke nipple & eliminate the possibility of nipple pull through under even the highest loads.
Superior Lateral Strength
The rim also features cross-over-spoke lacing, where each spoke goes from one side of the hub to the opposite side of the rim for an increased angle & therefore increased lateral strength.
Dent Protection
The outer walls are extra thick to protect against case dents, while the other walls are extra thin to keep it light. The 36mm width & 18mm height are also major factors in the design, spreading out the impacts & maximizing resistance to pinch puncturing.
