Description

At I Know A Guy Bicycles, our “Trusted Partners” are more than just brands—they are vetted small businesses that represent the heart and soul of the cycling industry.

I choose to partner with people who take immense pride in their craftsmanship and who live by the same rule my dad taught me back in his shop: “If you can’t do it right, don’t do it at all.” In a world of mass-produced, “good enough” gear, these partners are true gems. They prioritize quality and longevity over quick sales, ensuring that when I recommend a product to you, it’s a product I’d trust on my own family’s bikes.


Trusted Partner: Bicycle Wheel Warehouse

Bicycle Wheel Warehouse is designed to offer a new dimension in the online market for enthusiast riders, aiming to meet cyclists’ need for high-quality wheels at affordable prices. We specialize in offering wheels that use component specifications that make sense, rather than wheels assembled from miscellaneous parts.

Our wheels differ from many other wheels available online. All of our wheels are 100% built in-house by hand, checked, and rechecked for proper spoke tension and wheel trueness. Compare our wheels with those offered by other websites that often purchase wheels and parts at close-out auctions from overseas factories and repackage them for sale in the U.S. as quality products.


The Speed Tuned X-Path 36HD 700c wheel set is extremely versatile. Strong enough for beat up paths and broken roads, carrying max payloads using a wide range of standard clincher or tubeless road tires, (700×25 – 50mm).


Description:

Sweet!  A tubeless ready hybrid rim with CNC machined sidewalls for rim brakes, that also really works well with regular clincher tires and tubes, designed for more than road performance or racing.  Let’s face it, in the world of tubeless, it’s a disc-o world.  The X-Path has a strong 26mm profile, has a 19mm inner, it has a shiny CNC machined sidewall for rim brakes, and weighs in at a respectable 480g.  So if you ride in locales with lots of thorns, needles, broken glass, or insert whatever the bane of your personal existence happens to be on your rides, these wheels set up tubeless could be a great way to go.

We are building these Speed Tuned X-Path rims up with your choice (please select) of Shimano loose ball or Speed Tuned sealed bearing hubs, laced three cross front and rear.  This lace pattern offers excellent lateral strength while still allowing each wheel to absorb a fair amount of road vibration.  Thanks for taking a moment to check out these wheels.  If you happen to find a pair on your door step, it just may be one of the best, longest lasting upgrade you ever decide to invest in for your bicycle.

* All listed weights are based on an approximate average, actual weights may vary

*Wheels will ship with QR levers and Velox 16mm cloth rim tape.
