How to pack your wheels

Remove tires, tubes, rotors and cassettes unless I've asked for them. Protect the axle ends and the rim edges, and use a wheel box or two layers of cardboard. Put your name and email inside the box.

Where to send them

I send the shipping address after you book. You pay inbound shipping and can choose your own carrier and insurance.

Return shipping

Charged at cost and quoted when you book. A wheelset box to most of the lower 48 typically costs $110–210 with insurance. Signature is required on returns over $750.

Warranty work by mail

Warranty labor is free; shipping both ways is paid by the customer.
