Frequently Asked Questions

Do these wheels come with bearings?

Yes. Most fitments include sealed wheel bearings. 1984-1999 models come with ¾ in Timken bearings with outer seal (greasing required).

Will these fit my bike without modification?

Wheels are designed for custom fitment and may require modified axle or rotor/pulley spacing. Measure your current wheel hubs to confirm compatibility.

Can I use a speedo drive with a Narrow Glide hub?

No — Narrow Glide hubs will not accommodate speedo drive installation.

Are these wheels tubeless-safe?

Spoke wheels are sealed for tubeless use, but they require periodic maintenance that may disturb the sealant. Sealant is not covered under warranty as a manufacturing defect.

What maintenance do these wheels need?

Spoke wheels require service interval maintenance. Check spoke tension and inspect the sealant periodically during normal bike service.
