WASP STING                                                                                                     SUPER STRONG JUNCTION



               Pin-joint rim is out of date! Hold on! This is not exactly right!  The new coming “Wasp                                      - Double Pushed Fixing Process
               Sting” series will absolutely change conventional views of pin-joint rim.


               With traditional round shape steel pin, pin-joint rim gained bicyclists’ reliance on
               its stability and strength, however, it also limit possibility on rim design. For example,                                        I. THE PIN - 304 stainless steel pin
               if designer tempts to use pin with larger width of section, it could influence dynamic                                            1)  Aluminum alloy rim manufacturers generally use steel pin in
               balance of the rim.  Moreover, using pin which made of different material could risk                                                 pin joint rim. Differ from these manufacturers KINLIN adopts

               “Wasp Sting” series successfully solve these problems by adopting customized pin-                                                    find and close thread, the 304 stainless steel pin effectively

               This unique component provides wide possibilities on designing rims for heavy duty
               riding. Riding on rims that equipped Wasp Sting and KINLIN T10 Process can uplift                                                 2)  Single process pin joint is widely used in rim industries.
                                                                                                                                                    However loose joint is a common problem in this traditional
