Sun Ringle Black Flag Expert Wheelset 27. 5 Once upon a time not too long ago, 27. 5 inches was considered the revolutionary wheel size reserved for technical trail riding or aggressive all-mountain. When it came to competing with the larger 29” wheel in XC racing, the 27. 5” was simply written off as the slower of the two wheel sizes. Although this might hold truth to a certain degree, the 27. 5” wheel has since proven that where it lacks in carrying speed, it makes up for in agility and maneuverability, and is now a standard choice for the more technical cross-country courses. The Black Flag is Sun Ringle’s take on a 27. 5” XC wheel, and it’s an exceptional one at that. Using a 24mm wide Black Flag rim with Wheelsmith spokes and nipples, this wheelset delivers the long lasting durability in which Sun Ringle is synonymous for, while remaining a svelte 1,855 grams. As most lightweight cross-country sets use a 15mm axle up front, the Black Flag capitalizes on the stiffness and steering precision of a beefy 20mm front axle. 5 , 650b Weight: 27. 5-1855g.
