BikePro Custom wheel FAQ

BPR ( Bikepro Racing ) Custom Wheel

Customer reviews


 

Hi Andy,
 
A quick note of thanks for your wise advice and wheelbuilding skills. After 15 hours of varying rides I am a believer! The Aero 30 Wheelset is an impressive all round performer They are stiff during out of the saddle sprints and climbs, are relatively aero and lightweight, deliver immediate engagement and are well engineered with oversize bearings, Sapin spokes etc, etc, etc. They have a habit of attracting positive comments from other riders to whom I am happy to pass your contact details. Congrats on a great wheelset.  
 
Regards, Les Tokolyi

Hi Andy,
 
Well the Aero 30 wheelset is going very nicely after a month of use, I have used these for a mix of racing & training rides since the start of december. These wheel have given me some extra confidence on the bike and have been very reliable. They are stiffer, lighter and go much faster than anything else I've ridden.
I'm also really happy with the quality of the hubs and freewheel body as this has given me the most problems in the past.
These wheels definitely get the thumbs up from me.

I do however have a few warning for your prospective buyers.
  • These wheels are very impressive at high speed and feel amazing through corners
  • They make racing easier
  • They really transform my bike when I swap them back and forth with my m**** training wheelset
  • You will want to ride these wheels all the time
  • I try not to use them on training rides as I feel like I'm cheating myself as they are so effortless to ride
  • These wheels look good
Thanks for taking the time to source good quality parts at a reasonable $$$,
 
Cheers,
Steve

I just finished another race using the T50 Carbon wheelset and just wanted
to let you know how happy I am with them. I'm finding the T50s are my
favorite wheelset for most courses and my Zipp disc is getting left at home
more and more.
The first thing I noticed with them is how light and particularly how stiff
they are so accelerating out of the turns has been fantastic. But its when
I'm up to speed that they really put a smile on my face, they really hum
along (Really impressed with the hubs and good choice in spokes).
It's great to feel so confident in the strength of the wheels and I'm pretty
happy with the way they look too. I've been recommending them to anyone
who's after a new set of carbon wheels. There isn't another wheelset
matching them for price and performance, you should sell heaps of them.

As always your help and advice (and now your wheels) are making me faster on
the bike thank you.
Regards,

Ross M
