"This setup employs Reserve's 30|HD Carbon rims, which are already well-liked among aggressive riders for their blanched ride quality, impressive durability, and lifetime warranty. Now riders have the option to buy them as a set with the unique e*13 Sidekick Hubs, which claim to eliminate pedal kickback, provide a chainless ride feel, and create less drivetrain noise. The Sidekick Hubs claim to isolate your drivetrain from suspension while freewheeling by creating a "deadband" area."
"This deadband is tuneable, allowing riders to choose between 12, 15, and 18 degrees, depending on their preferences and suspension kinematics. And with threaded end caps, the deadband adjustment can be done without tools. If you've been plagued by pedal kickback, these hubs could be the answer to improving your bike's suspension performance. The concept is quite similar to OChain, although the Sidekick system is housed cleanly inside the rear hub."
Reserve's limited-run wheelset pairs 30|HD Carbon rims with e*13 Sidekick Hubs to reduce pedal kickback and drivetrain noise. The 30|HD Carbon rims offer durable construction, a blanched ride quality, and a lifetime warranty. The Sidekick Hubs isolate the drivetrain from suspension while freewheeling by creating a tuneable "deadband" selectable at 12, 15, or 18 degrees with threaded end caps for tool-free adjustment. The hub design aims to provide a chainless ride feel and improve suspension performance. The wheelsets retail for $2,199 with an XD Freehub body and 6-bolt rotor interface, available in 29-inch or mixed sizes and limited to North America.
