Collection: Rim / Hoops Only

Rim / Hoop – Please read before ordering 

Rims (also known as hoops) are a critical structural component of a bicycle wheel and are not a plug-and-play replacement. Proper installation requires precise measurements, correct spoke selection, and experienced wheel-building knowledge.

Replacing or repairing a wheel using only a rim/hoop is not an easy process. It is vital that the spoke count, spoke length, lacing pattern, hub compatibility, and rim specifications are measured and matched very carefully. Even small measurement errors can result in an unsafe or unusable wheel.

There are online spoke-length calculators and measuring tools available, but using them correctly still requires experience and an understanding of wheel-building principles.

⚠️ Important Notice
Purchasing rims/hoops to fix a wheel problem is recommended only for professional mechanics or individuals with wheel-building experience. Improper installation can lead to wheel failure, poor performance, or safety risks.

For most riders, you are far better off purchasing a complete, professionally built wheel from your local bike shop. A complete wheel ensures correct tension, alignment, durability, and safety—saving time, money, and frustration in the long run.
