Reynolds TR 329 148mm Wheelset Info

Reynolds TR 329 148mm Wheelset brings carbon rim performance to the trail bike category at a price that doesn't require a Blacklabel-level budget. Built around a 29-inch, Boost-spacing platform, it's a wheelset aimed at riders who want the cornering speed and power transfer of a carbon rim without paying for the top-tier finish work that pushes Reynolds' higher wheels well past this price point. At $999.99, it undercuts its own lineup's flagship trail wheels while keeping the rim geometry that makes them worth riding.

The rim itself is the core of the story. Reynolds built it low-profile and wide — 32mm internal, 38mm external, with a shallow 19mm depth — and shaped it asymmetrically so spoke tension balances more evenly side to side. That combination does real work on the trail: a wider channel lets tires sit with a rounder profile and more support at lower pressure, which improves cornering grip and adds a bit of give over square-edge hits without the rim feeling vague or overly soft. Riders coming off a narrower alloy rim will notice the difference most in how the tire holds a line through loose or off-camber corners.

These rims are hookless and come pre-taped for tubeless setup, so getting tires seated is more straightforward than it is on a traditional hooked bead. The hookless profile pairs naturally with the wider internal width — tubeless tires seat predictably, and running lower pressures for extra traction doesn't come with the same pinch and burp risk you'd get on a narrower, deeper-profile rim. For trail riders already running tubeless, this wheelset doesn't change that workflow; it just gives the tire more rim to work with.

Reynolds pairs the rim with its own Reynolds/Ringle SRX MTN hub, a 12-degree engagement, 3-pawl design that's tuned more for reliability and value than instant pickup, which fits where this wheelset sits in the lineup. Sapim Sprint spokes are laced 28 front and 28 rear in a 3-cross pattern for durability under repeated trail impacts, and the hubs use a Centerlock rotor interface. This particular build comes in 148mm Boost rear spacing, with freehub options for Microspline and XD drivetrains, so it drops into most current 29er trail and all-mountain frames without an adapter.

Reynolds builds its rims in-house at its own facility rather than outsourcing production, and backs them with a lifetime warranty to the original owner — a detail worth knowing if you're weighing a carbon wheel upgrade against the long-term durability of what you're replacing. The TR 329 is a sensible pick for a trail rider who wants a genuine step up in cornering feel and tire support over an alloy wheel, without chasing the last few grams or the fastest-engaging hub on the market.

The RA Perspective

The TR 329 is Reynolds' entry point into carbon trail wheels, and it reads that way in a good sense — you get the rim geometry that actually changes how a bike corners, without paying for the hub speed and finish work that drives up the cost of their higher-end Blacklabel wheels.

The 32mm internal width is the standout spec here. It's wide enough to properly support a modern 2.4"-2.6" trail tire, and combined with the hookless bead, tubeless setup is about as easy as it gets on a carbon rim. Riders moving up from a narrower alloy wheel will feel the difference most in corners, where the tire holds its shape better under load instead of squirming.

Where this wheelset shows its price point is the hub. The Reynolds/Ringle SRX MTN hub's 12-degree engagement is fine for most trail riding, but if you're the type who notices hub pickup on technical, low-speed sections, it won't feel as sharp as an Industry Nine or DT Swiss hub on a pricier build. That's a fair trade for what you're paying.

We'd recommend this wheelset to a trail or all-mountain rider looking to upgrade off alloy wheels who wants better cornering support and a genuine tubeless-ready carbon rim, but doesn't need the fastest-engaging hub on the trail. It's a straightforward, durable choice for someone who rides often and wants the wheel to hold up to it.
