Arch S1 27.5in Wheel
The Stans Arch S1 27.5in Wheel is one of the most versatile choices in Stan's wheel line-up, effortlessly transitioning from fast-flowing XC loops to rugged desert mesas without sacrificing overall strength or tire support. It's similar to the Arch MK3 Wheel, but at a more affordable price that only compromises in terms of rolling weight over its pricier MK3 sibling. The Arch S1 retains the excellent Neo hubs with Durasync, which provide a responsive 10-degree engagement for getting up and over trail impediments standing in your way. Thirty-two spokes at the front and rear wheels maximize strength and stiffness when you're tracking over rough terrain and plunging into steep, rocky descents.
The 26-millimeter internal width maintains an ideal tire footprint with trail rubber in the range of 2.2 to 2.5-inches wide—without deforming your tires into a bulbous or bell-like shape that's prone to pinch-flats, sidewall slashes, and burps on the trail. Seeing Stans is a tubeless pioneer, the Arch S1's Bead Socket Technology (BST) maintains a secure interface with tubeless set-ups by matching the tire's bead shape. BST makes tires true to their shape in tubeless form, allowing for high levels of traction and less rolling resistance on the trail.

Nice wheel, not clearly described
- Familiarity:
- I returned this product before using it
This wheel sounded good according to the website, received it and discovered the hub is XD compatible only so had to send it back. This was NOT on the web description. Was returned in original box exactly as new. Competitive Cyclist did not refund me the full amount, 90%. Most decent companies today refund 100%, especially since bike part compatibility is such a can of worms these days.
