Our philosophy
Precision
Every pieces are machined with very tight tolerances as small as 0.005 mm. Every part that doesn't fit our tolerances is rejected.
Local manufacturing
Our hubshells, freewheel, axles and endcaps are made in our workshop in Belgium. Sapim spokes and nipples are also manufactured in Belgium.
Local sourcing
We are proud to source our materials as locally as possible. Aluminium is made in Italy, seals are made in the Netherlands, titanium is sourced in Belgium, ... Only bearings and springs are from Taiwan.
Handbuilding
We build every wheel by hands and take as much time as needed until the lateral movement is less than 0.05mm, radial movement is less than 0.20mm and spokes tensions are within a 5% tolerance.
Reactivity
We try to avoid intermediates to :
- Be closer to the handbuilders and the final customer.
- Offer the same quality products at a more attractive price.
- Be more reactive in case of specific demands, product defaults, ...
Easy service
Our hubs are designed to avoid any specific tools. It's easy to open by pulling the freewheel out. And there's not a chance to loose a piece. Even if you've never serviced any hub, go ahead, you'll see, it's easy. And if you have any trouble, feel free to contact us.
Reliability
Our hubs are designed so the bearings can turn fluidly as long as your wheels last. We use truly reliable radial bearings and a seal that makes the hub water and dust proof. With little servicing, easily done due to our design, you'll keep your bearings as good as new for a very long time.
Lifetime warranty
Our hubs and wheels have a LIFETIME warranty. We are so confident in our products that we can offer you this warranty as well as a crash replacement free program. (Only for the first owner).
