Stan's NoTubes Wheels with DT Swiss Hubs
Custom Stan's NoTubes Wheels on DT Swiss Hubs
Pick a Stan's NoTubes rim we carry, put it on a DT Swiss hub, and we lace and true the wheel by hand in our Georgia shop.
Why build Stan's NoTubes rims on DT Swiss hubs:
- Made by specialists: DT Swiss hubs engineered in Biel, Switzerland
- Proven: Stan's patented Bead Socket rims helped make tubeless mountain biking mainstream; DT Swiss star ratchets engage every tooth at once instead of a few pawls
- Built to last: DT Swiss freehubs come apart by hand, and the ratchets upgrade to more teeth later
- More than 140 Stan's NoTubes wheels on DT Swiss hubs in our build records since 2009, each laced and trued by hand in Georgia

Stan's NoTubes Flow EX3 wheels on DT Swiss 240 Disc Centerlock hubs
Our mountain pick from the Stan's NoTubes and DT Swiss parts we build with. The Stan's NoTubes Flow EX3 is a hooked aluminum rim, 29mm inside, 17.9mm deep, about 618 grams in 29 inch, sized for about 2.3 to 2.6 inch tires. We lace it to DT Swiss 240 Disc Centerlock hubs in 32 hole.
- Tiebeam on the Flow EX3. An inner bridge makes a triple-cavity section that resists the sidewall folding that causes air loss after a big hit. Stan's aims this 6069 aluminum rim at enduro, downhill and the added weight of e-bikes.
- SINC ceramic bearings on the 180. The 180 pairs Ratchet EXP with ceramic bearings where the 240 uses steel. DT Swiss credits them with low friction and low rolling resistance.

Why the pairing, specs and FAQ
Custom hand built Stan's NoTubes wheels on DT Swiss hubs
Our order records show more than 140 Stan's NoTubes wheels laced to DT Swiss hubs since 2009. We lace each wheel by hand in our Georgia shop: tensioned evenly, trued flat and round, and stress-relieved before it ships. Spoke lengths are calculated from the measured dimensions of your exact rim and hub.
What Stan's NoTubes rims and DT Swiss hubs each bring
- Bead Socket Technology. Stan's patented rim shape holds the tire by its bead rather than its sidewall, so the sidewall can expand to a rounder profile. Stan's says that means more traction and less rolling resistance than a conventional shape, which drives the bead deeper and restricts tire volume.
- Low sidewalls. Bead Socket rims have lower sidewalls than conventional rims. Stan's says that leaves them less exposed, and makes the rim lighter and stronger.
- Spoke offset set by rim width. On MK4 rims the spoke holes sit 1.5mm off center on the 25mm Crest, 2.5mm on the 28mm Arch and 3mm on the 30mm Flow. Stan's reports 92 percent drive to non-drive tension balance on the Crest MK4, against 58 percent on the symmetric MK3.
- Star ratchets instead of pawls. Facing toothed rings take the drive, and all their teeth engage at the same moment. DT Swiss says a pawl has only a small contact area, while the whole face of its ratchet engages, and it credits the smaller point loads for these hubs' reliability.
- Ratchet EXP on the 240 and 180. One ratchet is combined with the threaded ring, leaving fewer parts and less weight. The drive-side bearing moves into that ring too, which widens the bearing spacing, and DT Swiss says this adds 15 percent axle stiffness and longer bearing life.
- The original Ratchet System on the 350. Two conical springs keep both ratchets aligned. DT Swiss calls it marginally heavier than Ratchet EXP, and the hub shell and axle on the current 350 have been reworked to cut weight.
Stan's NoTubes and DT Swiss custom wheel questions
Which DT Swiss hub fits my Stan's NoTubes rim?
The cards on this page start on the DT Swiss hub our customers build with each rim most often (DT Swiss 240 Disc Centerlock, DT Swiss 180 Straight Pull Disc). The builder lists every DT Swiss hub that fits your rim, in the drillings and brake types that match.
Do you build Stan's NoTubes rims on other hubs?
Yes. See our Stan's NoTubes custom wheel page for every hub that fits each Stan's NoTubes rim, or our DT Swiss custom wheel page for every rim on a DT Swiss hub.
Can you build with a DT Swiss hub or Stan's NoTubes rim I already own?
Yes. Choose the supply-your-own option in the configurator, ship it to us, and we will lace it into a new wheel with new spokes cut to the right length. You pay for the parts you need and the build labor.
How long will my wheel take?
Build time comes down to parts availability rather than bench time. Your estimated ship date is shown in the configurator before you check out, so you know the date before you pay.
Not sure what to pick? Email info@prowheelbuilder.com (fastest) or leave a voicemail on 470-253-0929. You will be talking to the people who build the wheels.
