Halo Chaos Trail/Enduro wheels


HALO'S TOUGH JUMP rims have been upsized to 650b and laced on to their evergreen Spin Doctor hubs to create this enduro wheelset.

The Chaos rims are heavy but we've been battering various sets for a while now without wrecking them. Deep hooks keep tyres secure at low pressures, but the rims can pinch fatter tyres slightly despite the broad outer edge width. The 32 spokes at each end spread stress and they're tightly laced, though it's worth checking tension regularly if you really hammer them.

The Spin Doctor rear hub is well proven, with fast pick-up and steel construction to stop scarring damage. Hefty weight makes them slow to accelerate, but they're still recommended if you're after a bargain bomber wheelset

Rim: 22/28mm
Freehub lag: 12°
Tubeless type: ready
Sizes: 26in, 650b
