All our existing disc brake wheels can be converted to N3W to make them compatible with 9 and 10 sprocket start (like our EKAR cassettes). Having a smaller ratchet diameter compared to the new generation wheels (30 mm vs 33 mm), these wheels need a kit (axle + endcaps + N3W freehub with smaller pawls diameter FH-N3WA30) to be converted: • AC21-N3WRFCC for cup-cone (ZONDA DB, BORA WTO family DB, BORA ONE family DB, SHAMAL ULTRA DB) • AC21-N3WRFCS for sealed bearings (SCIROCCO DB) ATTENTION: the only standard compatible with N3W is 12 x 142 mm. QR 135 and 10 mm axle are not convertible!

The AC21-N3W adapter will be already present in all the wheels that we introduce as road or all-rounder (endurance category), like SHAMAL CARBON, since they can be used both with drivetrains involving cassettes with 9 and 10 sprocket start, like Ekar (without the adapter), and with drivetrains involving cassettes with 11 and 12 sprocket start (with the adapter).

The AC21-N3W adapter package contains: • the adapter - a metal ring for length extension • the Z11 lockring - a longer lockring compared to the standard one that comes with the cassettes since it has to reach a deeper thread on the freehub after the ring installation. Lockrings that come with 10, 11 and 12 speed cassettes do not work when these cassettes are installed on N3W freehub + adapter as they won't SAFELY reach the internal thread of the freehub. Hence, the full adapter kit comes ready to fit all our cassettes starting with 11 sprocket (11, 12 and also 10 speed). For those wanting to assemble a cassette starting with 12 sprocket we have a specific lockring available as spare part

N3W has been designed to host directly Campagnolo cassettes starting with 9 and 10 sprocket. To use Campagnolo cassettes starting with 11 or 12 sprocket you must install the AC21-N3W adapter on the N3W freehub first.
