Race Face Wheels with Phil Wood Hubs

Gravel in depth

Race Face ARC Offset 25 wheels on Phil Wood Pro Disc hubs

Our gravel pick from the Race Face and Phil Wood parts we build with. The Race Face ARC Offset 25 is a hooked aluminum rim, 25mm inside, 19.5mm deep, about 450 grams in 700c, sized for about 35 to 50mm tires. We lace it to Phil Wood Pro Disc hubs in 32 hole.

• Two aluminum alloys, one set of widths. AR rims are 6061 aluminum and ARC rims are 6069, which Race Face picks for its strength-to-weight ratio. Both come in 25, 30, 35 and 40mm inner widths, so you choose the width for the tire and the alloy separately.
• Two bearing choices. Standard bearings have full contact seals and a full fill of Phil Waterproof Grease for wet, dirty riding. Carbonyte bearings have partial contact seals and a 30 percent fill of synthetic grease for lower drag.

Race Face ARC Offset 30 wheels on Phil Wood Pro Disc hubs

Our mountain pick from the Race Face and Phil Wood parts we build with. The Race Face ARC Offset 30 is a hooked aluminum rim, 30mm inside, 20.5mm deep, about 525 grams in 29 inch, sized for about 2.3 to 2.6 inch tires. We lace it to Phil Wood Pro Disc hubs in 32 hole.

• Offset nipple bed. Race Face moves the nipple bed 4.5mm off center on the AR and ARC rims wider than 25mm and on the ARC Carbon 31 and 36. It says this optimizes spoke tension and makes the wheel stiffer and stronger.
• A cassette mechanism with five double-row pawls. Heat-treated stainless pawls engage a 40-tooth ratchet ring in a hard anodized 7075 body. Phil says some backpedal resistance is normal for up to 350 miles of break-in, and it suggests servicing the mechanism at least every three months.
