Bike Wheels

Bicycle wheels are the fundamental connection between your bike and the road. This fact alone makes them one of the most crucial cycling components of any bike setup. Bike wheels come in a vast array of options to suit every riding style and budget. Whether you're looking at prestigious brands like Campagnolo and Shimano for their precision-engineered bike hubs, Hope's renowned durability, or Reynolds Cycling's innovation, choosing the right bicycle wheel can transform and enhance your riding experience to become more comfortable, stable and faster.

What are the best wheels for bikes?

Look for key features, including:

  • Hub quality (look for sealed bearings from quality providers like Hope, Campagnolo and Shimano)
  • Bike spoke configuration (heavier riders should opt for more spokes)
  • Wheel rim construction (look for light, durable and stiff materials)
  • Aerodynamics (deep-dish rims provide more aerodynamic benefits but will be compromised in cross-winds)

How often should bike wheels be serviced?

Bike wheel maintenance depends on riding conditions and frequency, but generally, bike hubs should be serviced every 5,000-7,000kms. Regular inspection of your bicycle wheel bearings, spoke tension, and rim wear is key to safety and performance.
