The Sixer wheelset, as the name implies, is designed for 26" MTB applications, such as Dirt Jumping, Slope, Trials MTB, Hardcore Street MTB, and OldSchool DH - Is the jack of all trades for gravity riding.
 
The rim design is focused on overall ruggedness, with a thick profile and premium alloy construction, its meant to withstand impacts and twists. While we focused on the strength and durability, we didn't skimp on the weight. Laced with premium Sapim spokes, nipples, and washers, and paired with our Shogun hubs, the wheelset is only shy of 1900g.
 
This wheelset is paired with a full size HG freehub to run full gears if needed, or you can run single speed with the a SS kit. You can even order the XD drive or Microspline freehub if you need.
 
Note:
For those ordering standard rear 10x135mm or front 9x100mm QR spec, note that you will need thru-axles such as our Thru-QR in this link.  This type of axle standard called E-thru is fully compatible with open vertical/horizontal dropouts, and run much stiffer than quick release.
 
The Sixer Wheelset features

This wheelset comes with a set of options for spoke and nipple combinations:
Race / Brass - For optimal balance of strength, durability, and weight, we offer the wheelset with Sapim Race 2.0-1.8-2.0mm double butted spokes. Paired with the Sapim Poylax brass nipples. Butted spokes are more elastic in its thin section, which migrate stresses on its ends better than straight spokes.
 
Nipples - Sapim Poylax
Brass is back as the default option due to popular demand! No fuss brass to end all worries related to corrosion from selant and road salt. With a modern profile, Sapim's Polyax shaped nipples are the perfect choice for high end builds. Alloy Polyax nipples are available upon request (we had no problems with Sapim's 7075-T6 alloy nipples, but brass is 100% guarantee trouble free; and folks say its worth the smallest weight gain) All nipples come in black.
 
Spoke count
We tested 28 spoke wheels and came to conclusion that the weight savings are very minimal compared to the significant loss of durability and overall support by having 4 less spokes compared to the traiditional 32 count. Therefore all of our MTB wheelsets come with standard 32 spoke count per wheel.
 
Brake Fitting options
All wheelsets come with standard 6-bolt brake mount. We are sticking to this ISO standard so that we can offer conversion kits to futureproof any of the hubs across all axle spacing standards.

Hand laced wheels
Our wheels are hand laced in Surrey, BC. and we use multiple traditional methods of spoke yielding-stress-relieving, so that when you receive your wheel, you can rest assured that there is no seat in periods, or spokes losing tension in initial rides - these which would require re-tensioning like machine and poorly built wheels.
 
Premium hand built wheels requiere dedication and take much longer than machine built, but the accuracy and attention to detail produced by the traditional way is one of the key aspects that makes Tairin wheels superior. By choosing Tairin Wheels, rest assured that every wheel has been hand crafted by a master wheel builder, so you get the best quality and labour, at the best deal out there.
