Crupi 20 x 1.50 28H CenterLock Wheelset


Description

The Crupi 20 x 1.50 28H CenterLock Wheelset is a high-performance BMX wheelset built for Expert Plus and Expert/Expert 2X class riders who demand the fastest, most reliable engagement available in BMX racing. All new for 2026, this wheelset is centered around Crupi's innovative Quad CenterLock hubset - featuring 150 ratchet teeth that engage every 2.4 degrees, delivering a spring and pawl engagement so fast you won't believe it isn't instant. Laced with 15G spokes and alloy nipples to race-tested 406mm Rhythm Section 28H rims, every component is chosen for race-day performance and long-term durability.

One of the standout upgrades on this wheelset is the rear hub's 6mm Allen screws, which eliminate the need for tensioner spacers and allow clean, flush fitment into frames with enclosed dropouts. Four included cog spacers let you dial in perfect chain alignment no matter your setup. The CenterLock design also gives you a clear upgrade path - add a Crupi Disc Brake Adapter kit and this hub converts to disc brake use, making these wheels a smart long-term investment for any serious BMX racer.


Key Features

  • Quad CenterLock Hubset: Features 150 ratchet teeth engaging every 2.4 degrees - the fastest Spring & Pawl engagement system in BMX racing.
  • 406mm Rhythm Section 28H Rims: Race-tested double-wall rims laced with 15G spokes and alloy nipples for a stiff, reliable wheel build.
  • Disc Brake Convertible: Compatible with both Disc and V-Brakes; add the Crupi Disc Brake Adapter Kit (sold separately) to convert to disc use.
  • 6mm Allen Rear Hub Screws: Eliminates tensioner spacers for a clean fit in frames with enclosed dropouts - no extra hardware needed.
  • 4 Cog Spacers Included: Allows precise cog positioning for optimal chain alignment across different frame setups.
  • 16T Aluminum Cog Included: Lightweight alloy cog included as standard; upgrade cog sizes (13t-18t) available at additional cost.
  • Weight: 2lbs 15oz: Competitive race weight, keeping your setup light and fast on the track.
  • Recommended Rider Weight Limit: 140lbs: Engineered specifically for lighter, younger Expert-class racers.
  • American Valve Compatible: Rims require American valve tubes for inflation.
  • Pro Frame Compatibility: Designed to fit Pro frames; works on Expert & Expert 2X frames when used with brake extenders.

Cog Size Options & Which to Choose

  • 16T (included, no extra cost): The standard race cog included with every wheelset - a popular all-around choice that suits most Expert-class track configurations and gearing setups.
  • 13T (+$10): A smaller cog for riders who prefer a taller gear ratio, maximizing top-end speed on longer, faster tracks.
  • 14T (+$10): A step up from 13T, offering a strong balance of acceleration and top speed - great for tracks with long straights.
  • 15T (+$10): A slightly lower gear ratio than stock, offering a touch more snap out of the gate - ideal for shorter, more technical tracks.
  • 17T (+$10): Lower gearing for stronger acceleration off the start - best suited for riders with smaller chainrings or tracks with tight turns.
  • 18T (+$10): The lowest ratio available, delivering maximum snap and low-speed torque - a great pick for younger or developing riders who benefit from easier pedaling.

What's Included

  • Front and rear 20" x 1.50 28H Rhythm Section wheels (pre-built)
  • Crupi Quad CenterLock 28H hubset
  • 16T aluminum cog (upgrade sizes available)

FAQ

What is CenterLock and can I actually convert this hub to disc brakes?

CenterLock is a hub interface standard that allows a disc brake rotor to be mounted directly onto the hub using a lockring. Yes - this hub is disc brake convertible. You'll need to purchase the Crupi Disc Brake Adapter Kit (sold separately) and the CenterLock ISO Converter (also sold separately) to complete the conversion. This makes the wheelset a smart long-term investment as your setup evolves.

Do I need to buy tubes separately?

Yes. These wheels require American Valve (Schrader) tubes, which are not included with the wheelset. Make sure to pick up a compatible set of 20" American valve tubes before riding.

What frames are these wheels compatible with?

These wheels are designed to fit Pro-class BMX frames. They can also be used on Expert and Expert 2X frames, but brake extenders will be required due to the larger wheel diameter. Check your frame's dropout and brake mount specs before ordering if you're unsure.

Can I change the cog size after I order?

Yes - Crupi cassette cogs are available separately, so you can swap your cog at any time to dial in your gearing. When ordering, you can also select an alternate cog size (13t through 18t) for a small upcharge, so your wheelset arrives ready to ride with the gearing you prefer.

Why do the colored versions (Red and Blue) have black rims and spokes?

The 1.50 rim width is only available in black. So on the Black/Red and Black/Blue colorway options, the rims and spokes remain black while the hubs and nipples are colored. This is a production spec for this rim size - the result is a clean, race-focused look with a pop of color at the hub.

What does "28H" mean and why does it matter?

28H refers to the number of spoke holes in the hub and rim - 28 in this case. More spoke holes generally mean a stiffer, stronger wheel. For BMX racing, 28H is a popular balance point between wheel stiffness and weight, making it well-suited for Expert-class competition where power transfer and durability both matter.
