e*thirteen Sidekick Pro hubs getting laced to Bontrager Line Pro Carbon rims. For this build we went with DT Swiss Alpine III spokes for added durability. Even "Spokes" the dog approves.
The Sidekick Hub fully decouples the drivetrain from the suspension during coasting. The pusher-activated magnetic pawl mechanism retracts completely when you stop pedaling, giving you genuine near-zero drag, full suspension freedom, and near-silent operation with a tool-free deadband adjustable to 9°, 13°, or 18° trailside. At 9°, engagement is fast and direct, comparable to a conventional hub, ideal when climbing is the priority. Open it up to 13° or 18° for maximum anti-kickback and suspension performance on descents.
