Hub Weight Allocation
White Industries hubs are the standard specification across all Princeton wheelsets.
The breakdown below shows the weight savings available with each alternative hub option.
The Mapdec Hub Selection
At Mapdec, we’ve carefully selected three premium hub options for our Princeton wheelset collection, each offering a distinct advantage depending on how you ride.
DT Swiss 240 – Legendary Ratchet System reliability, low maintenance, and easy servicing worldwide. The perfect choice for racing, travel, and adventure.
Chris King – Exceptionally durable, fully serviceable, and built to last a lifetime of hard riding.
Tactic Racing TR01 – Ultra-lightweight hubs designed for riders chasing maximum performance and every possible gram saved.
Integrated Drainage & Pressure Relief Vent
A feature on all Princeton wheelsets: Designed to protect your wheel's performance and structural integrity, this precision-drilled port allows trapped water from wet rides or bike washes to easily drain out during rotation.
It also functions as an essential safety feature by venting air to prevent pressure buildup inside the hollow carbon rim if a tubeless seal ever fails.
Custom Contoured Tubeless Valve Interface
Featured across all Princeton wheelsets, this specialised valve exit and matching contoured lock nut ensure a perfectly flush, secure seal against the rim's wavy aerodynamic profile.
By eliminating uneven pressure on the carbon layup, it prevents tubeless air leaks while making valve installation smooth and effortless.
