Rigida / Ryde

If you are looking for a solid wheel, then we recommend Rigida / Ryde ANDRA rims.
These rims are especially designed to fit large diameter hubs like our Rohloff Speedhubs or Schmidt SONs / SONdelux's and are made for heavy duty use.

No matter if you need your bike for the daily ride to work or your world trip! The Rigida / Ryda ANDRA rim won't let you down.
It is a piece of cake for the ANDRA to handle your weekly shopping tours or your huge amount of luggage and heavy loaded trailer you pack for the upcoming trip around the world!

The Problem

Wheel geometry has changed drastically as hubs have increased in diameter and rim profiles have become deeper. Consequently, spokes are shorter and the angle of the spoke between the rim and the hub has increased. the greater tension produced by this new arrangement can lead to a bad spoke/nipple line and a risk of spokes breaking at the rim.

The Solution

to this problem lies in a new development, pioneered by Rigida/Ryde. With their rim called Andra. the spoke holes are drilled under a certain angle and dimpled in the right direction of the final spoke position. This results in a unique advantage that the nipple can work as a ball-and socket joint whereby spoke and nipple adapt theirselves auto-matically on the direction of the spoke in order to reach a perfect spoke/nipple line.
The Rigida/Ryde Andra rim permits perfect Rohloff Speedhub wheels without any risk of the spokes bending or snapping at the rim.

Internal Dimpling (ID)

  • improves spoke/nipple line for wheels with big hubs, avoiding broken spokes
  • improves stability of wheels with big hubs such as E bikes/ bikes with big internal gear or speed hubs (like Rohloff Speedhub)
  • excellent solution for heavy duty wheels
  • improves crossing of spokes for wheels with big hubs
  • Internal Dimpling is a Rigida / Ryde Patented design

Carbide Supersonic (CSS)

If you really want to cycle in peace for a very very long time or want a better braking power - then you want to invest in Rigida / Ryde ANDRA CSS rims! 
Why? - Here you get the answers:

  • highest quality for optimal braking (similar to Mavic Ceramic)
  • almost everlasting side walls
  • optimal brake performance in wet weather conditions
  • CSS is a Rigida / Ryde Patented design

Attention: Special brake blocks are required when riding with ANDRA CSS rims!
