Kindernay SWAP

K’ay SWAP is a new and versatile wheel system for internal gear hubs. With this system, the wheel rim is laced separately from the gear hub, allowing the internal gear mechanisms and the fully laced wheel to be detached from each other with ease, and mounted together again. This effects how wheels for internal gear hubs are used, and makes the Kindernay XIV more versatile and flexible than other internal gear systems on the market. A customer can now purchase a fully laced wheel, without having to calculate spoke lengths and arrange for building of the wheel. The gear hub is no longer semi-permanently locked to a rim, which eases tyre and rim swap. The fully laced wheel can easily be removed from the gear mechanisms, and switched for a different wheel and rim. For example, changes between different width rims (wide/narrow), changes between racing and training rim sets, or move the gearbox to a bike with different wheel size (e.g. 29″/650,26″), or replace any broken part, a wheel with a flat tyre etc.
