“ We didn’t invent the wheel...We just made it better ”

Since 1995 Halo has become one of the market leading brands of wheel products in the UK. Halo have always been right at the forefront of the 4X and Dirt Jump markets and have now added the DH, Fixed Gear, XC, Trail and Road markets to this list.

Halo introduced one of the first wide DH/Jump specific rims to satisfy riders needs before the millennium and continues to develop new products to cater for all sectors of the bicycle wheel market including the Jumping, Street, Park, Freeride, XC, Road, Commuter and the resurgent Fixed Gear sectors. For example, Halo have developed the patented Twin Rail tyre tread (in multiple sizes and colours), and designed the groundbreaking multi use Disc hubs, alongside an essential selection of quality spokes, high pressure rim tapes and alloy nipples.

Furthermore, we have listened and responded to riders’ requests for more colour options and now offer a rainbow of colour options across the range.

A few of the new product highlights for 2012 include the all new H-Block Dirt tyres, Retro hubs and rims, DH 150 Supadrive hubs and wheels.

Plus...2012 will see Halo enter the BMX arena with a new range of top level hubs and rims, from BMX racing to Freestyle.

Halo products are designed in the UK by riders for riders, engineered to the highest standards and offer exceptional value and performance.

Over the past fifteen years, Halo products have been developed, used, abused and approved in conjunction with some of the World’s finest riders including: Sam Pilgrim, Lance McDermott, Fionn Griffiths, Chris Smith, Chris Delia, Josh Bender, Glen Coe, Pat Campbell-Jenner, Scott Mears, Robin Rumbelow, Mark Cornick, Ady Bright, Oggy and Lance Canfield to name just a few...

With Team Riders such as these you can be confident that Halo products are designed and built to perform at the highest level.

Halo didn’t invent the wheel – we just made it better !

FIX

Fix-G Track Hub :

An ever present headache with “normal” fixed hubs is the assembly of a drive cog that is attached by a thread being pulled in both directions by the pedal torque. Of course, the traditional solution to avoiding the cog unwinding itself from the hub in the reverse direction is a left hand threaded lockring, butted up tight against the cog. But, as many riders have found out, this historic system can be relatively volatile.

Halo thought… there has to be a better way: A splined hub body (with cogs that slide on) and an independent lockring… that never has to handle rotational forces from the drive.

FIX

-G

The Halo Fix-G hub features a fixed HG type spline machined as part of the alloy main hub body*, with a conventional internal thread for a standard HG type lockring (with easy tool fittings). + options L/H side for conventional fixed or freewheel threads. (*Note: Must ONLY ever be used with “7mm base Wide Foot” cogs… such as Gusset “Double Six” or New Halo Fat Foot cogs to avoid the cog biting into the alloy splines on the hub...Regular width HG cogs should NEVER be used.)

Halo Fix-G advantages: »»Easy and secure fixing & servicing. »»Adjustable chainline. »»Twin cog option (can run 2 cogs together.) »»Accepts from 12T + cogs (for compact gearing). »»No need for chainwhip tools.

Tech features:

»»Hi-polish custom CNC machined hub shell, »»HG type fixed spline. »»Japanese sealed bearings. »»Hollow M10 Cr-Mo axle. »»120mm spacing. »»22mm “Large cone-faces” to avoid damage to frame. »»Includes cog spacers and alloy lockring.

White, Black, Silver or Purple. Laser logo. 32H, 36H or 48H (black only) HG Fixed/Fixed or HG Fixed/Freewheel types.

9 Brilliantly well thought out hub design

“ Impressed with their toughness and quality, but what elevates this latest version is the innovative rear hub. Fixed wheels with a flip-flop (for swapping between fixed or freewheel). The Fix-G replaces the thread with a shortened HG type spline, HG sprockets slot on and are held with a lockring, so theres no chance of it unwinding.”

D J DB D Halo Bushed DJD Rear hub :

After a long development period, the DJD hubs have become the DJ Disc Single Speed hub of choice for many pro riders (including Sam Pilgrim). However, not content to sit back, we are introducing an ALL NEW DJD hub with a “Bushed Driver”.

BD hubs have been utilised successfully in the hardcore BMX market for quite a while, and the advantages of their lighter weight and improved durability over cartridge bearings are pretty well proven, especially when using compact cog sizes.

The stresses caused in a Single Speed hub can be huge and, a bush spreads the loads involved over a much larger surface area than ball bearings can achieve, and therefore helps to avoid premature bearing failure.

In addition to the BD features, we have fitted a lightweight alloy axle with tough, replaceable, M10 “Bolt-in” Cr-Mo fixings and alloy caps.

We also know that bolt-in fittings can be tricky if the axle starts to spin when turning the bolt, (as you have nothing to hold) - so we have also added a 6mm Hex broach deep inside the axle – just in case the axle starts to spin when you don’t want it to !

14mm adaptors included: the large surface faces of the “cones” allow us to also use 10-14mm adaptor washers – making this hub suitable for 10mm or 14mm dropouts.

We have decided to offer a limited range of White powder coated spokes too…

184, 186, 188, 230, 231, 232, 236, 252, 254, 255, 256, 257, 258, 260, 262, 264, 266mm

Twin Rail 20/24/26/29” : 2.2” Trail and Street tyre.

Utilises 2 central rails (ridges) for reduced buzz on hard surfaces, but features drive ‘sleepers’ between the ‘rails’ to give traction on loose surfaces (Halo patent). Also features overlapping low profile studs to avoid lateral flex during hard cornering, and so provide positive steering.

Now available with ‘old skool’ skinwall.

New Whitewalls coming soon.

“The idea is to provide big airspace comfort and step/concrete slab protection for urban hooliganism, but still keeping the rolling footprint fast enough for a rapid exit when necessary. The great news is it seems to really work. The 2.2inchers are fast on the road when pumped up to 85psi, and boast particularly impressive water dispersing performance for monsoon grip…”

What Mountain Bike Magazine Verdict; Performance 9/10, Value 9/10.

“Super tough, great value double rubber for ruling the urban jungle” GOLD AWARD. “This is a huge tyre and the shock absorption from that vast air pocket is every bit as good as you’d expect. It also rolls okay, partly because it will take 85Psi and partly because of that Twin Rail centre rolling strip…” …“The tread’s not too deep so it corners confidently on tarmac for a non-slick tyre, yet still provides some grip off-road...”

“As a multi-use tyre it’s excellent…”

Cycling Plus Magazine. “… it’s the tyre’s split channel feature that makes it stand out from the norm… the design (and the lightweight carcass) allow the 85Psi rated tyre to zip along on two narrow strips at a ridiculous speed with very little rolling resistance. But should you venture onto dirt, the rails dig in and the knobbly bits of the hoop do their work…”

MBUK Verdict; 8/10 Very Fast on the street and hard packed dirt.
