Bought a new bike, but don't want the wheels? We might.

Expensive bikes come with nice wheels. Some times customers don't want those wheels. If you bought a TT or triathlon bike and want to trade for a set of our TT or triathlon wheels, lets talk.

A little FYI about shipping times:

While we work as quickly as possible to ensure that you get the wheelset you need for the weekend, we are only human. That said, there are cut off times for placing orders and receiving your wheelset.

Tuesday at 7p is the cut-off for 2-Day Friday arrivals.
Wednesday 7p is the cut off for Overnight Friday arrivals.

More information can be found on the Shipping Page.

You wouldn't buy a car without driving it, would you?

Wheelsets are expensive. They should be. A lot of R&D goes into them to make sure you have a superior product to the other wheels out there... but how do you know which ones work for you?

Testing equipment through Echappe Equipment is straight forward. Every rental earns you credit towards a final purchase. Once you've found the wheels you want, you apply the credit towards that purchase. Whether you want to buy new or used, its up to you.

Browse the selection, make your own choices.

We have options set up for you already, but if you have something specific in mind let us know. We are here to facilitate your next big purchase and we want to make sure you ride what you want.

Why make your final purchase with us?

For $40 you can have loaner wheels when you need them.

Thats right- if you pay $40 you can have a comparable set of wheels while your wheels are being serviced. Its like a car dealership. If your wheels need to be serviced or replaced and you purchased them with us, you can keep riding. Sweet, huh? For more info, please check out our How It Works page.
