2. HELP WITH SPOKES
All our wheelsets use either PSR 1422 spokes or Sapim cx ray spokes. These are identical sizes and shape to each other. The cx-ray is just more premium.
We only use j-bend spokes not straight pull.
CX-rays are available from many spoke sellers and are easily found on Google. We recommend: https://www.spokesfromryan.com
If you’re unsure what length you need - just remove a good spoke from the same side of the wheel in question and measure that.
You are measuring from the tip of the threaded part of the spoke to the centre of the elbow (The 90° right angle bit!)
3. HELP WITH RIMS
If you are unlucky enough to need a new rim. Again please talk to DCR Wheels:
Info@Dcrwheels.co.uk
We have sent a selection of our rims to DCR so that whilst we are closed they can help our customers get back on the road in the event of a rim needing replacing.
This work will of course be chargeable by DCR. They don’t work for free of course. But their rates are reasonable and their quality is fantastic!
You should just be able to send your damaged wheel to them and they can quote you for replacement parts and for labour to rebuild your wheel.
They may also be able to service your K1 wheels !
Thank you for bearing with us while we are closed.
