wheel FAQs

Spokes
We use DT Swiss spokes which are available in:
Revolutions - the lightest spoke
Super Competitions- recommended for disc wheels, lots stiffer than the Revolutions and approx. 35g per pair heavier, and the same price, black only.
Competitions - the stiffest and cheapest but also heaviest spoke that we use

Nipples
are available in alloy and brass. Alloy save about 20g of weight per wheel. Alloy nipples are available in a wide range of colours - red, green, blue, purple, gold, turquoise at no extra cost over black alloy nipples. Only available for Revolution and Comp builds, Supercomps use a different size and are only black or silver.

Colours
We build in either black or silver spokes. Black spokes are more expensive than silver.

Order time
We try to have our stock builds in stock although we don't always manage it at peak times. If they are not in stock or you would like a custom build the maximum wait is up to 14 days in peak time if the parts are available.

Cannondale Lefty
We can build NoTubes wheelsets on Cannondale front hubs and any of the rear hubs we stock.

Hope Pro3
These are not available as hubs so we can not build them onto NoTubes rims, they also require special spokes that we can not get. Pro2s are a very similar hub and weight the same, we are happy to build these onto any NoTubes rims.
