2018 Product Line and Build Weights

Posted by Jerry Chabot on

Welcome to our new, revamped for 2018 website! It is relevant that we have completely reskinned the website because for 2018 we have completely updated our wheels as well. Every rim has undergone an upgrade of some sort for 2018 and we believe our current offerings are comparable to anything else on the market, with the benefits of our customer service and build quality. I think we are great to work with.

Cannondale AI Asymetric Integration Wheels for SuperX, Synapse, Scalpel, F-Si

Posted by Jerry Chabot on

Speaking of Cannondale, we also build wheels for their asymmetric chainstay bikes, Cannondale Asymmetric Integration (AI), which is Cannondale-speak for SCS. And we know a thing or two about SCS, so we may as well help out those of you with Cannondales as well, right? If you need Lefty or AI wheels, just let us know. We have AI and Boost AI as an axle option right on the wheel configuration section of the applicable wheelsets. We even made up some custom tooling to ensure a precise, repeatable offset when building.

Lefty builds for Cannondale Slate!

Posted by Jerry Chabot on

It has been a struggle recently with so darn much going on at once. New products, several new team sponsorships, a huge uptick in sales volume, new ROAD DISC wheels, blizzards and subsequent shipping delays, and other supply chain wrangling, and UCI wheel certification (stay tuned!). We also designed new wheel shipping boxes (logistics are the untold story behind every business) which took A WHILE to prototype and dial in, glad that is behind me.

SCS FAQ - READ THIS FIRST (then just email me I guess)

Posted by Jerry Chabot on

Hi Specialized bike owners! I have generated a lot of blog content on the SCS situation over the past year. So much so that it seems to have generated more questions than answers. Since I still get 10 emails a day on SCS questions from people looking to get wheels on their Specialized Diverge or Crux (gosh I wish I sold ten sets of wheels a day...), I think it is time for an FAQ post that I can point people to, or hopefully avoid some email traffic. << You can still email me, I don't mind! We are small and personal and helpful and respond to all emails in minutes. Go ahead, try me! (and then maybe buy some wheels from us, ok?)

SCS Quick Release Frames

Posted by Jerry Chabot on

I get a lot of questions from folks with quick release bikes from Specialized, like the 2015 Diverge, or Cruz, or Roubaix, or the 2016 Crux Alloy frames, etc. Very simply, yes, these bikes SHIP with SCS wheels (usually the Axis 2.0 alloy wheels), but they are NOT SCS FRAMES!
