BikePRO Custom
Wheel
There are so many factory
wheels in the market, why I should buy your wheels?
Ultimately, our custom built wheels perform better than factory
wheels. They are stronger, lighter, and more aero dynamic. Every
single spoke is hand tensioned, and checked, to ensure even
tensioning throughout each wheel. As a result, there is no weak
spot on the wheel for it to fail. BikePRO custom wheels are
pre-stress ( do not need re-tensioning after the first few rides )
All spokes are cut in house to make sure the spoke length are
correct.
Our wheels also have a much lower overall running cost than
factory wheels. Apart from our famous 2 year 'no broken
spoke, no out of true' guarantee, we stock all spare parts that are
needed to build the wheels. So if the wheels need repairing, the
cost of it (free if under warranty conditions) and overall down
time is much lower than factory wheels, which need specific
spokes to be sent (expensive & time consuming) and additional
labor costs.
Are your wheels covered by warranty?
Yes,we offer a 2 year guarantee to all our wheels. (return &
pick up from base)
What is not covered by warranty?
- Permanent disformation of rim & spoke (a material
undergoing non-reversible changes of shape in response to applied
forces). For example, deformations due to: a crash, hitting a
pothole, over-inflation of tyres. wear of rim & bearing. This
is not a manufacturing or assembly fault, therefore it is not
covered by our warranty.
- Oxidization of material (rusting). When most metals are in
contact with acidic water, it undergoes a chemical reaction
(oxidization). This reaction produces rust, and hence it is
important to make sure the wheel is dry, and not
high-pressure hose hub seal-type areas. It is best to use a mild
soap to neutralise the acid that may be in the water (ie from salt,
sweat etc).
- Wheel having been tempered (or adjusted) by 2nd party
What is the maximum recommended pressure of your wheels
?
700 x 20mm - 130 psi
700 x 23mm - 120 psi
700 x 25mm - 110 psi
700 x 28mm - 100 psi
higher pressures beyond the above pressure did not make the bike
roll faster, there are plenty of scientific studies that show
over-inflating tires actually increases rolling resistance of
clincher tires (makes you slower).
Are your wheels pre-build or custom?
All BikePRO wheels are custom built in our workshop, in
Melbourne, Victoria. Using best components & tools
available.
Are you wheels tested?
Yes, we test our wheels before their release. It have won a
few national & state championship & many local races
Are your weights claimed or actual weights?
The weight of our wheels is the actual weight, although a
(+ or -) of 50grams is given due to manufacturing tolerances. Be
mindful also that many manufacturers actually under claim the
weight of their wheels by up to 100's of grams.; To get the
real weigh for comparison check out: Weight
Weenies
Are skewers included in the price of wheels?
Skewers & rim tapes are included in the price of the wheel.
Brake pad and wheels bags are not included with the
wheels.
Are the components manufactured by a reputable
company?
The rims, hubs, spokes & skewers are imported from the
factories directly. The products are scoured from around the world
to ensure the best products. The wheels are then built here,
in Melbourne, to ensure the strictest wheel building quality
control. Only the highest quality sealed bearings are used. The
rims & hubs are manufactured by the best manufacturers,
who OEM for many major companies around the world
Are the hubs Campagnolo or Shimano
(Sram) compatible?
All wheels can be either Shimano (Sram), or Campagnolo
compatible, the choice is yours. There is also an option to buy
an extra freewheel body to easily interchange between then two
in needed.
Are the wheels rated for weight of the rider?
The Wheels have a weight rating. However, as all wheels are
custom built, heavier riders have the option of using a heavier
gauge spoke for a stronger wheel.
Is BikePRO a etailer ?
BikePRO have a physical shop front with a full operating
workshop, that has been open to the public since July
2001.
Can you send the wheels interstate ?
postage & handling is
$30 ( VIC & SA )
$40 ( NSW & QLD )
$50 ( NT, WA )
Can you discount the wheels any further?
At BikePRO we aim to provide extremely competitive pricing. We
believe our pricing to be exceptional reasonable. If we receives a
cheaper price from the factory we pass that saving onto the
consumer, as we feel that's the way it should be.
