The Damco 26" Alloy Black Double Wall Rear Wheel with Shimano Altus Freehub is a durable and reliable replacement wheel designed for traditional 26-inch mountain bikes, classic hybrids, and daily commuter builds. By utilizing a high-quality Shimano Altus cassette hub rather than a baseline screw-on freewheel axle, this wheel provides smoother gear shifting, balanced axle loading, and long-term durability against bending or breaking.

Key Technical Specifications

• Rim Configuration:
  26-inch standard layout (ISO 559 ETRTO sizing) featuring a double-wall aluminum construction. The double-wall profile incorporates a webbed internal layer that absorbs impacts from potholes and trail debris far better than budget single-wall options.
• Hub Interface:
  Authentic Shimano Altus-tier freehub utilizing a standard Hyperglide (HG) splined cassette body.
• Axle Layout:
  Standard 10x135mm Quick Release (QR) hollow axle spacing; includes the corresponding external quick-release skewer mechanism for tool-free roadside flat repairs.
• Braking Surface:
  CNC-machined alloy sidewalls optimized for direct contact with traditional linear-pull V-brakes, mechanical cantilever sets, or caliper rim brakes.
• Wheel Build Strength:
  Assembled with a reliable 36-spoke count laced in an even 3-cross pattern using silver stainless steel spokes to handle drivetrain pedaling torque cleanly.
• Aesthetic Finish:
  Eye-catching contrast color scheme featuring a sleek anodized black rim laced to a polished silver alloy hub body with silver spokes.
