GENERAL INFORMATION
Our wheelsets are approved for tubular as well as tubeless systems.
Beast Components wheelsets are to be used exclusively with brake
discs. When used with rim brakes, they will be seriously damaged,
posing an enormous safety risk for the rider and third parties.
Modification of the wheelsets are not permitted and will void your
warranty.
WEIGHT LIMIT
Except for the RS25 and the XS30, our rims are not subject to any
weight limits. The system weight (bike, rider and equipment) of the
RS25 and the XS30 should be a maximum of 115kg and must not be
exceeded.
APPEARANCE
Our components are 100% handmade. Thereby it can come to
different appearances. It makes each component unique and has no
influence on the safety. By direct incidence of light you get a great
view of the individual fibers with partly shimmering shades.
WHEELSET ASSEMBLY INFORMATION
The choice of components as well as the spoking pattern and the
wheel construction itself influence the intended use of the entire
wheel and can significantly restrict it. Beast Components therefore
recommends to maintain the wheels by an experienced specialist.
This will ensure a long and problem-free service life.
If your wheelset should need maintenance or service, you or your
dealer will find information on the assembly of your wheelset in
this section and in the table on the following page. If there are any
questions, please contact us.
EFFECTIVE RIM DIAMETER (ERD)
The ERD is the direct distance between the opposite nipple seats.
The ERD tolerance is +1mm. Please refer to the table on the next
page for the exact ERD details of the respective rim.
ASYMMETRY OF THE RIMS
Please note the possible
asymmetry of the rim depending
on the rim model (see table on
next page). The asymmetrical
offset must point away from the
brake disc on the front wheel
and away from the gear shift on
the rear wheel to compensate
for the flange offset of the hubs.
NIPPLE
For optimal power transmission, we recommend to use as external
nipple „Sapim Polyax Double Square 14G 16mm“ with Secure Lock.
These must be positioned between the nipple and the rim and must
fit correctly on the inner surface of the rim.
WASHERS
When building up wheels with external nipples, it is essential to
use washers called „MG Washer“ from Newmen. These must be
positioned between the nipple and the rim and have to fit correctly
on the inner surface of the rim.
It is recommended to apply grease between nipple and washer to
prevent abrasion of nipple and washer.
SPOKE TENSION
The following maximum spoke tensions should neither be exceeded
nor undercut. Otherwise the spokes may break or the rim may be
damaged.

INSTALLATION
GENERAL INFORMATION
Before installation, make sure that the installation dimension of the
hub fits your fork and frame.
Please read the hub instructions carefully before installing the
wheelset. You can find these under:
https://www.dtswiss.com/en/support/manuals
Only use valves with a suitable diameter and sufficient length. The
valve hole must not be modified.
Do not use metal tire levers. These can damage the surface of the
rim, the tire or the tube.
Attention: Maximum tire pressure
The maximum tire pressure of the wheel and the
tire used must not be exceeded. Details can be
found in the enclosed note „Tire Pressure“ or at
www.beast-components.de/en/service.
FITTING TIRES WITH A TUBE
Attach the rim tape. Assemble the inner tube and tire according
to the manufacturer‘s specifications. We recommend using soapy
water or installation fluid. Pump the tires up to their maximum
approved pressure. The lower of the pressures specified for the rim
or tire applies (Details can be found in the enclosed tire pressure
information or at www.beast-components.de/service). Check the
tire seat. The tire must contact the rim evenly around its entire
circumference. Have the tire seat checked by a professional if in
any doubt. If necessary, reduce the tire pressure to the desired
operating pressure.
FITTING THE TIRES WITHOUT A TUBE
Make sure that the tubeless tape and a tubeless valve are mounted.
The Tubeless Tape and the valve must be used in the width and
height suitable for the rim. Please refer to the tables on the next
page.
Put sealant fluid into the tires. Comply with the instructions of
the sealant manufacturer. Assemble the wheels according to the
manufacturer‘s specifications. We recommend using soapy water
or installation fluid.
