SH Race FAQ

• When can I discuss technical choices (spokes, rims, tensions)?

  Whenever you wish: we are available to answer your questions and discuss technical choices.

  As these are not pre-assembled standard wheels, we can adapt the build to your expectations (spokes, rims, tensions, balance between comfort, performance, and reliability) based on your riding style and priorities.

• Which wheels really match my riding style and goals?

  The most effective approach is simply to contact us to discuss it.

  Every rider has a different usage (road, gravel, MTB, touring) and specific priorities (performance, comfort, reliability, budget). A short exchange allows us to guide you toward the configuration best suited to your goals.

  Write to us with a few details (riding style, terrain, weight, level, objectives), and we will recommend the wheels that best match your bike and your way of riding.

• Low-, mid-, or high-profile rims: which is the most versatile?

  The mid-depth rim is generally the most versatile, offering the best balance between performance, weight, and stability.

  Low-profile rim (≤ 30 mm)
  Lightweight, comfortable, and easy to handle on climbs, but less efficient on flat terrain and at high speeds.

  Mid-profile rim (35–45 mm)
  The best compromise: good aerodynamic gains, controlled weight, and acceptable stability in crosswinds.
  Suitable for the majority of riders and courses.

  High-profile rim (≥ 50 mm)
  Very efficient on flat terrain and at high speeds, but heavier and more sensitive to wind.
  Less comfortable in the mountains or for truly versatile use.

  Conclusion: for a single wheelset capable of doing everything, the mid-depth rim is the most balanced choice.

• Are handbuilt wheels more expensive?

  Not necessarily.

  With equivalent components, a handbuilt wheelset is often:

  • more durable
  • more cost-effective over the long term
  • better adapted to your usage and profile

  Custom building avoids compromises linked to standardization and allows you to invest in wheels that truly make sense, rather than marketing.
