What does 'Limited Stock' mean?
We have stock ready to ship, but move quickly as stock is limited. When we have no stock left, a pre-order date and deposit option will replace the 'limited stock' wording on the product page.
What does the 'Pre-Order' date mean and when do I pay the remaining balance?
The pre-order date is the date we expect stock to arrive at our warehouse. Roughly a week before the pre-order date, we will invoice you via email, for the final balance. Please check this page out for more detail.
How does the deposit option work?
By placing an order with a deposit, you are securing yourself a set of wheels from that batch and delivery date. Then, roughly a week before the wheels are due to arrive, we will invoice you via email for the final balance. The deposit is fully refundable. If you change your mind and would prefer to order an alternative wheelset, get in touch and we can support you by moving your deposit.
Will these wheels fit my bike?
If you’d like some guidance on checking wheelset compatibility with your bike, please check out this page. If you need support selecting the correct freehub, check this page out and similarly, if you are unsure about your axle information, please check this page out. If you still have questions, feel free to speak to our Rider Experience team via LiveChat.
Where do I put my freehub and axle information when I order?
You select the freehub on the wheel page. After checkout, an Axle Form will generate. It is on this form that you can enter your axle and bike information. Note: For RE:NEW orders, you will be asked for your freehub and axle info after checkout, via the same form.
What is the difference between Hooked and Hookless?
For more information, check out this great journal post here, where we cover all things Hookless. Please ensure you check with the tyre manufacturer for compatibility and tyre pressure information.
Can I ride clincher tyres on a hookless wheel?
No, you can't. You must only use a tubeless tyre that is hookless (TSS) compatible.
In an emergency, if I am riding a hookless wheel with hookless compatible tubeless tyres fitted, can I fit an inner tube to get me home?
Yes, you can; but once you are home, replace or repair the tyre.
Which freehub do I need for a Shimano 12 speed road cassette?
You will need a Shimano/SRAM (HG) freehub. Shimano 12 speed cassettes are built for Road Microspline freehubs but are backwards compatible with original HG splined freehubs. Please check this page for more help selecting the correct freehub for your cassette.
