Crank Brothers Opium 3 Wheel Sets feature the unique twinpair lacing pattern that has become the signature of
Crank Brothers wheels. This unique design pairs 2 straight pull spokes with a bushing in the rim, allowing for a lower spoke count design while maintaining even spoke tension and incredible wheel stiffness.
The Opium wheels are designed for downhill riders, and the 24mm internal width rims use no spoke holes and are easily set up with tubeless tires. The
Crank Brothers hubs use a strong 3-pawl system, sealed cartridge bearings, and an alloy freehub body and axle.
Truing these wheels is incredibly easy with a standard spoke wrench, and rims are replaceable without needing to remove the tire. All
Crank Brothers wheelsets include the two-stage rear quick release lever and valve stems.
