As reported last month, Stan’s has been working on a thru-axle version of their singlespeed 3.30SS hubs in response to the latest 142x12mm frames from Niner and others.

In good news for those looking at buying a complete bike in a couple of years’ time, Stan’s is working on 28mm and 30mm wide Rapid rims for OEM spec. These wider rims will bring Stan’s bead holding and tubeless compatibility to ever-lower price points- good news for everyone. We’ll start to see these on spec sheets in a year’s time and in the field shortly after that…
