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.

From top to bottom, the Pure Tour rim was designed with Tour riders in mind, or anyone for that matter that is interested in an excellent performing, super strong rim that functions exceeding well.

Description:

Pure Tour wheel sets offer a reliable alternative to those whom need heavy duty wheels that work without compromise. The key to the success of these wheels is in large part due to the rim component specifically; the Pure Tour rim.

The Pure Tour rim’s profile (30mm tall and a full 21mm wide), creates a triangulated rim platform that is beyond exceedingly strong. Both the top of the rim and the rim sidewalls are designed to be extra thick. The reinforced CNC machined sidewalls help make this a tough rim, but more importantly offer extended years/miles of resistance against brake wear. There’s also a pronounced wear indicator that helps dissipate heat while braking. From top to bottom, the Pure Tour rim was designed with Tour riders in mind, or anyone for that matter that is interested in an excellent performing, super strong rim that functions exceeding well.
