The Single Track ATB Comp sat in the middle of the family lineup: tougher and more confidence-inspiring than the featherweight Pro, with enough mass to handle real trail abuse. These rims were spec&#8217;d on early 90s Trek trail bikes at a time when American mountain biking was inventing itself on fire roads and singletrack. Paired with Shimano&#8217;s Deore LX \u2014 the gold standard of mid-90s MTB componentry \u2014 this is a proper period-correct build with genuine pedigree.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500<\/p>\n<p>\ud83d\udeb4 <b>The Ride<\/b><br \/>\nThese are honest mountain bike wheels \u2014 no drama, no excuses, just durable aluminum alloy that goes where you point it. The 32-spoke build and double-wall rim construction give you a confidence-inspiring stiffness underfoot, while the Deore LX hubs deliver that satisfying, smooth engagement that made Shimano the benchmark for a generation of riders. This is the wheelset that taught a lot of people what trail riding was supposed to feel like \u2014 and it still does.<\/p>\n<p>\ud83d\udd27 <b>Technical Specs<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Material: Aluminum double-wall rim \/ stainless steel spokes<\/li>\n<li>Weight: Front ~907g (2.0 lbs) with skewer \/ Rear ~1,157g (2.55 lbs) with skewer<\/li>\n<li>Hub: Shimano Deore LX \u2014 cup-and-cone, fully serviceable<\/li>\n<li>Freehub Body: HG spline, ~30mm deep \u2014 compatible with 7-10 speed cassettes<\/li>\n<li>Spoke Type: Traditional round, J-bend, stainless<\/li>\n<li>Spoke Count: 32\/32<\/li>\n<li>Brake Surface: machined<\/li>\n<li>Rim Width: 22mm outside-to-outside<\/li>\n<li>Axle Standard: 100mm front QR \/ 135mm rear QR<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500<\/p>\n<p><b>Is This Your Bike Thing?<\/b><br \/>\nIf you&#8217;re building up a period-correct 90s MTB, keeping a classic Trek rolling, or just want dependable 26&#8243; wheels with a hub you can actually service with a cone wrench \u2014 these are it.
