29" Freeride Wheels

For the discerning Freerider, Halo Freedom Disc Auralite Nb-A special alloy rims mated to the high specification sealed bearing Halo Spin Doctor hubs.

Tough enough for all but the knarliest DH course, light and responsive enough for XC. 32 plain gauge Black spokes finish off these top flight all Black wheels.

Also available with White powder coat rims.

- Halo 28mm Freedom Disc rims with eyelets

- Black ED 14g spokes and black nipples

- Universal QR/20mm Sealed Bearing Halo Spin Doctor front hub

- Sealed bearing QR Disc Halo Spin Doctor rear hub

- 32 plain gauge spokes

- 29" MTB

- Black anodised or White powder coat finish (rims)

Of special note is the use of the Halo Spin Doctor Uni front hub in Halo sealed wheelsets. This is a 20mm front hub that is supplied with a QR9 axle set, allowing ONE hub/wheel to fit with either regular OR 20mm fork options.

In addition, the Front Spin Doctor hubs can also be used with NEW stub axles that effectively convert it into a nutted type axle in either 3/8" or 14mm.

Further, the Rear hub can also be converted to a regular 10mm nutted axle or into 14mm using axemen convertors.

The Spin Doctor rear hub also has an optional 'Saint' axle option available for compatibility with Shimano Saint rear mechs.

See Spin Doctor front or rear hubs section for more detailed compatability information.

Note: Anodised finish rims will accept V-brakes...but naturally, the brake surface colour finish will wear.

"The Freedom Discs are Halo’s serious freeride/all rounder wheelset. The broad (28mm) and deep rounded section rims are extruded in a high strength alloy for maximum toughness...The three cross, 32 plain gauge spoking is rock solid in use with no trace of twist or lag when braking, cornering or accelerating, and overall weight is good considering their capacity for abuse. The Halo Disc hubs are proven performers in the nastiest situations and the freehub gives solid, reliable power pick-up every time. The 'Swinger' front hub can also be easily switched between QR and 20mm thru axle too, and both ends get top quality sealed bearing hubs"

WMTB Verdict: Tough and adaptable light freeride/heavy XC wheels

Performance 8/10, Value 8/10

What MTB magazine wheel test. July 2005

"Probably the burliest of wheels in this section, the Halo Freedom disc mates some very slick looking semi-aero freeride rims with Halo’s clever Spin Doctor hubs. The Front hub can run 9mm QR or 20mm bolt through and the rear will work with an adaptor to make it compatible with Shimano's Saint and Hone. A great build too, using off the shelf components, making these a good choice for the wheel hungry freerider. Overall: Slick looking jumpin' racin' and funnin' wheels for a fair price."
