Product Information

Full details

The Specialized Traverse Alloy Front Wheel is built for aggressive trail riders who prioritize structural durability and high-performance reliability. Featuring a robust 6013 alloy rim and a dependable DT Swiss 350 hub, this wheelset is designed to handle harsh impacts and high-speed cornering with ease. While it offers industry-leading strength and a generous 30mm internal width for superior tire shaping, riders should note that the alloy construction carries a weight penalty compared to premium carbon alternatives.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this wheel compatible with all 29er tires?

Yes, it is designed for standard 29er tires, with the 30mm internal width working best with widths ranging from 2.3 to 2.6 inches.

How do I activate the lifetime warranty?

You must register your product on the Specialized website within 90 days of the original purchase date.

What is the crash replacement policy?

Specialized offers a 2-year no-fault crash replacement policy to help you get back on the trail if the wheel is damaged during use.

Can I convert this to a different axle standard?

The DT Swiss 350 hub is highly modular; check the specific end-cap availability for your fork's axle requirement.

Does this wheel come with tubeless tape installed?

Most new units come pre-taped, but you should verify with your local retailer or check the box contents upon arrival.

What is the benefit of the shot-peened finish?

Shot-peening increases the surface fatigue strength of the alloy, making the rim significantly more resistant to cracks and dents.

Troubleshooting

Tire is difficult to seat tubeless

Ensure the bead is pushed deep into the center channel of the rim and use a high-volume pump or compressor to provide an immediate burst of air.

Spokes feel loose or clicking noises

Check for correct spoke tension using a tension gauge and ensure no spokes have lost their uniform torque; re-tension if necessary.

Hub feels gritty during rotation

Perform a standard service on the DT Swiss 350 hub by cleaning the internal bearings and applying fresh, high-quality waterproof hub grease.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Superior impact and fatigue resistance due to shot-peened alloy construction
  • Excellent tire retention provided by the zero-bead hook design
  • Industry-leading warranty and crash replacement policy
  • DT Swiss 350 hub offers reliable performance and easy maintenance
  • Optimized rim width enhances traction on technical terrain

Cons

  • Limited to 29-inch wheel configurations
  • Requires proper tubeless setup for optimal performance

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up this wheel, ensure you are using high-quality tubeless rim tape and a compatible tubeless valve stem. Because of the zero-bead hook design, the wheel is optimized for tubeless tires to maximize retention during hard impacts. Maintenance is straightforward; the DT Swiss 350 hub architecture is modular and requires basic tools for service. To ensure the longevity of your investment, it is critical to register the wheel within 90 days of purchase to activate the lifetime warranty. Periodic inspection of spoke tension is recommended after the initial 'break-in' period of the first 50 miles of trail riding. Regularly clean the rim surface to check for deep gouges or dents, and avoid using harsh chemical cleaners that may compromise the rim's finish.
