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.

Top of the line road tubeless race oriented wheel set built with some of the best road hubs that money can buy.

Description:

The Stan’s Alpha 400 rim offers a high end, road tubeless rim option that is functional and light weight. At 22.6mm tall, 20mm wide, with a 17mm tubeless ready inner profile, these rims offer a light weight starting point in which to build a high end, race oriented wheel set.

At the heart of these wheels you’ll find perfectly polished, Shimano Dura-Ace 7900 series, 8/9/10 speed hubs. Besides the fact that these hubs are drop dead gorgeous, and are generally revered as some of the nicest road hubs available in the world, you’ll note that these hubs introduced Shimano’s easy bearing pre-load adjustment system.

To finish off the build, these wheels are laced with DT Swiss black double butted Competition 1.8/1.6mm spokes, and silver alloy nipples. When you combine all these super top-notch wheel components together in a 24/28 hole front/rear wheel set, the net effect is a light weight, focused, tubeless road wheel set for racing, sprinting, or climbing.

If you are looking for a premium light weight, road tubeless non-disc wheel set, I’d highly recommend picking up a set of these before they’re gone.
