DualVee wheels have a 90 degree vee while Hepco GV3 wheels have a 70 degree vee. Are there benefits to the different vee designs?
Theoretical benefit #1: When the wheels are loaded, the highest stress occurs at the apex of the inner vee. The 90 degree vee in DualVee wheels creates a lower stress concentration at the apex than the 70 degree vee (assuming identical apex relief radius), and also results in less of a resultant “outward wedging force” on the wheel.
