Carbon Care

A crash should not cost you a whole wheelset. If you damage a Venn wheel in a crash within 5 years of buying it, Carbon Care lets you buy a replacement at a discount on its list price: 35% in the first two years, 25% in years 3 to 5.

  • Covers accidental crash and impact damage. Manufacturing defects are separate and are always repaired or replaced free under the warranty.
  • The discount is taken from the list price (recommended retail price), not from the price you paid. A single wheel is priced at 40% (front) or 60% (rear) of the wheelset's list price, less the discount; if both wheels are damaged, the discount applies to the full wheelset.
  • Available to the original owner for 5 years from the purchase date.
  • To claim, send proof of purchase and photos of the damage. One claim per incident.
  • Non-transferable.
All duties and VAT included. No surprise fees at delivery.

01

WHY 32 INCHES

A bigger wheel meets a root, a rut or a stone at a shallower angle, so it rolls over what a smaller wheel has to climb, and it holds its speed through rough sections. On the trail that means more momentum carried through roots and rock gardens, and less effort to keep it. The 2430 S AM 32" puts that wheel on a carbon trail rim made for it.

02

THIRTY MILLIMETRES INSIDE, HOOKLESS

The 30mm internal width holds a trail tire close to its moulded shape, so the tread blocks stand square and the side knobs bite when you lean the bike. The rim is hookless: there is no thin hook lip at the rim edge, so the sidewall can be laid up thicker where impacts land. Run tubeless tires approved for hookless rims and stay within the hookless pressure limit of 5 bar (72.5 psi).

03

TWENTY-EIGHT STEEL SPOKES

Pillar PSR 1420 bladed steel spokes, 28 in each wheel. A steel spoke yields slightly under a hit and comes back, taking energy out of an impact before the rim has to absorb all of it, and twenty-eight of them spread trail loads and braking torque so no single spoke carries an outsized share. Any shop, anywhere, can source, true or replace one.

In depth

Boost or 12x142

Choose the hubs by your frame and fork: the Venn RH05BT for Boost frames, 1340g a pair (1330g with the 12x100mm front), or the 28-hole hubs on 12x100mm and 12x142mm thru axles, 1330g. Every hub engages through a ratchet with 36 teeth, every 10 degrees, so the drive picks up quickly when you start pedalling again after a coast, and every hub takes a Center Lock rotor.

Venn RH05BT, 28 / 28: Boost; 36-tooth ratchet; 12x148mm rear; sealed steel bearings, 2 front and 4 rear; with the 15x110mm Boost front, 316 g a pair; with the 12x100mm front, 300 g a pair (121 g front, 179 g rear; the front on a 7075-T6 aluminium axle in a 6061-T6 aluminium body); Shimano Micro Spline, Shimano HG or SRAM XD.

28-hole hubs, 28 / 28: 36-tooth ratchet; 12x100mm front, 12x142mm rear thru axles; sealed steel bearings, 2 front and 4 rear; 308 g a pair; Shimano HG or SRAM XDR.

Rim Profile and Tire Fit

The Venn 2430 THL AM 32" is 24mm deep, 30mm wide inside and 36mm at its widest point, and weighs 350g +/- 15g. A shallow rim lets the wall flex slightly under square-edged hits rather than passing all of that energy on. Use tubeless tires approved for hookless rims and stay within 5 bar (72.5 psi).

Questions riders ask

What kind of rider is the Venn 2430 S AM 32" for?

Trail and all-mountain riders on a 32-inch bike who descend hard and want a complete carbon wheelset, built and ready to fit.

Will they fit my bike?

Only a frame and fork made for 32-inch wheels take them. Check both before you order, and check the axle standard: choose the hubs that match your frame and fork.

How much does the Venn 2430 S AM 32" weigh?

1340g +/- 30g for the pair on the Venn RH05BT with the 15x110 front; 1330g +/- 30g with the 12x100 front or on the 28-hole hubs. Calculated from its parts.

Which freehubs are available?

On the Boost hubs: Shimano Micro Spline, Shimano HG or SRAM XD. On the 12x142 hubs: Shimano HG or SRAM XDR.

Are these rims hookless, and what does that mean for tires?

Yes, the rim is hookless. Use tubeless tires that their maker approves for hookless rims, and stay within the hookless pressure limit of 5 bar (72.5 psi). Trail pressures sit well below that.

Are the wheels tubeless ready?

Yes. They ship with tubeless tape and valves. On a hookless rim tubeless is the intended setup.

What warranty do these wheels carry?

Venn rims come with a 5-year manufacturer warranty, and complete wheelsets with a 2-year warranty, against defects in materials and workmanship. No registration required for purchases on vennwheels.com. Shipping is included in the price, worldwide.
