On the morning of May 7, 2023, the wheelset brand 0011 CYCLE held a brand press conference in the hotel conference room near the China International Bicycle Exhibition. 0011Cycle was founded in Chengdu at the end of 2011, initially focusing on retail cycling and outdoor equipment. In 2015, the focus of our business shifted from DIY whole bike to handmade building wheelset retail, providing customized wheelset services. We are currently located in the manufacturing hub of Chang'an, Dongguan, China. We are a wheelset manufacturer with over 10 years of experience in wheelset making, with a professional team of wheel making equipment and technicians, as well as strong research and development capabilities. We are committed to providing rich, stable, reliable, and high-quality ride experience wheelset.
Xiao Wang Ge, the manager of 0011 Cycle, said, The three years of the epidemic have been the biggest changes for us, and also the most difficult three years for us in over a decade. We have upgraded from just buying and selling our own round of small workshops to a small workshop that integrates research and development, production, and sales. With the most complete product line in the market, we have freed ourselves from dependence on imported hubs and gradually formed the strength to compete with foreign brand hubs.
0011 CYLE creatively uses the legendary pen holder - their defective hub shell, and ultra light standing cover as a gift for accompanying hands, and rider enthusiasts can pick it up at will. Xiao Wang Ge joked that these are all tuition fees paid on 0011.
0011 CYLE is a wheelset brand mainly based on THRindustries' self-developed hubs. The biggest feature is the beautiful hub design and anode color, which is unforgettable. The venue showcased most specifications of THRindustries hubs.
We have prepared an electronic scale next to us. Feel free to weigh it.
We have prepared carbon fiber wheels and wheel accessories for the wheelset nearby, making it easy for everyone to understand the shape of the wheels.
Do you think the rider enthusiasts are watching the products of this press conference? No, these are all the prizes from the lucky draw at this press conference.
0011 also manufactures many trendy anode colored small accessories, such as vacuum nozzles, disc lock rings, handle caps, etc., the vast majority of which will be used as gifts for wheel sets.
In addition to spare parts, 0011 will also manufacture some small tools on its own, such as side lock/T47 center shaft tools, press in center shaft installation tools, and spoke tension gauges.
Before the press conference, rider enthusiasts and bike shop owners were watching the products of 0011.
At 10 o'clock sharp, the press conference officially began, with rider enthusiast Zhu as the host of this event.
After a brief introduction, the manager began to introduce the development process and products of 0011 CYCLE.
Bike shops, trading companies, and rider enthusiasts present.
Xiao Wang Ge's press conference had a clear technical showcase, and the product specifications were very brief, with most of the time devoted to introducing hub technology.
Due to the diverse specifications of the 0011 wheel set, the SKU directly exploded. Here, I will briefly categorize it for everyone. There are a total of 5 series of wheelsets and hubs. According to product positioning, they are the popular model/1/2/3/X series. The road model is preceded by the letter R, and the mountain model is preceded by the letter M. The road model only has carbon wheels, and there will be aluminum wheels in the later stages of the mountain. Therefore, the road model is the popular model/R1/R2/R3/RX, with lighter weight and better materials used. The mountain model has MC1/MC2/MC3, and later plans include MA1, MA2, and MX.
1 series of wheelsets, advanced selection, training rounds, or beginner competitions. 2 series wheelsets, for competitive purposes, with the best performance design, optimal rigidity and strength. Apart from being not the lightest in weight, all other aspects are well balanced, meeting the vast majority of application needs of the majority of people. The 3-series wheelset focuses on lightweight and has a significant weight advantage. Its price and performance are also competitive among lightweight wheelsets. The X series, with its ultimate exploration of materials and design, is a drug grade lightweight and the best used ultra light wheel set.
The spokes are divided into two types: steel spokes and carbon spokes. In addition to five standard ring shaped frame heights to choose from, they also offer the popular wave rings today.
Xiao Wang Ge spent most of his time teaching everyone about THRindustries“hub technique. THRindstries”mid to high-end hubs are equipped with bearing preload adjustment. Correct adjustment can ensure that the bearings operate at optimal lubrication and greatly extend their lifespan.
The regular and 1-series hubs, except for the R1 ring brake hub, all other hubs use Ratchet ratchet structure (DT old set). The R1 ring brake uses SSF ratchet, so the price is also the most expensive one in the 1-series. Except for the R1 disc brake carbon strip hub, all other hubs use 7075T651 aluminum alloy, the popular model is domestic bearings, and the 1-series is imported EZO contact sealed bearings.
Both series of hub shells are made of imported 7075 T651 aluminum alloy shell/TC4 titanium alloy tower base/high-strength mold steel ratchet, except for SSF ratchet and SFP bearing preload adjustment. SSF is an improved single-sided spring planetary ratchet structure from 0011, with the number of ratchet teeth upgraded from the common 36/54T to 45/72T. It eliminates the spring gasket tower base sealing ring, one side spring, and side gear sleeve, reducing weight while simplifying assembly steps and reducing the probability of failure. The flower drum comes standard with a 45T ratchet, optional with a 72T ratchet, and comes standard with Taiwanese CEMA ceramic bearings.
The 3 series hub adopts a CVR ratchet structure, with an integrated design of the ratchet and tower base. The curved ratchet design allows for more precise engagement of the ratchet and also allows the main bearing to shift outward to improve the rigidity of the wheel set. The tower base and ratchet are both made of 7075 aluminum alloy, and the normal wear speed of the 3 series aluminum alloy ratchet is lower than that of similar product designs. However, the aluminum alloy ratchet requires more frequent maintenance （as friction can produce powder and mix grease to form oil sludge）, The application of aluminum alloy integrated ratchet wheel has established a huge advantage of around 80g compared to ordinary hubs.
The RX hubs is a new flagship developed by 0011 this year. It is currently one of the lightest hubs in the world, and is equipped with stainless steel ring ceramic bearings. The weight of the aluminum alloy XDR tower base is 197g. Adopting ultra-high strength aerospace aluminum alloy, the material tensile strength of the shell/tower base/shaft reaches 680Mpa, the 7075 aluminum alloy aluminum alloy reaches 540Mpa, and the most common hub shell material 6061 is 240Mpa. The overall strength of the hub reaches around 330g, providing a 2:1 and carbon strip version. The internal bite structure adopts the second generation SSF ratchet, which is more external and rigid than the first generation main bearing, It is one of the best ultra light hubs to use, even more confident than its 100g weight hub. The RX steel carbon wheel has a 46mm frame height of 21mm and an inner width of only 1140g. Currently, the lightest finished carbon wheel will have excellent performance in comfort, acceleration performance, and aerodynamics.
Xiao Wang Ge also knows that simple lectures can be quite dull. During halftime, he directly drew a wave of big prizes, including a frame, an integrated handle, and so on.
Soon after noon, the brand side kindly arranged lunch for everyone.
After lunch, Xiao Wang Ge continued to talk about spokes. If it weren't for the busy work schedule and the need to rush back to the exhibition venue, I would really like to hear more from Xiao Wang Ge about wheel sets.
Subsequently, Xiao Wang Ge introduced the quality assurance policy and store policy of the 0011 CYLE wheel set, as well as the brand's future plans, and had plans to go abroad. First of all, I wish 0011 Cycle a break out of Asia and move towards the world.
Due to the wide variety of products, bike shops, trading companies, and rider enthusiasts interested in the 0011 wheelset can contact for detailed product information.
