SH Race FAQ

• Are your wheels really handbuilt, one by one?

  Yes, absolutely. It is our signature.

  Every SH Race wheelset is handbuilt, one by one, in our workshop. This artisanal approach allows us to adapt each build to the real needs of every customer (riding style, weight, objectives, desired reliability), rather than offering a standardized wheel.

• 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.

• Is it the best upgrade compared to other components?

  Yes, changing wheels is often the best upgrade — and it’s not a myth.

  Wheels influence several key factors at the same time:

  • Rotational weight (better accelerations)
  • Aerodynamics (real gains from 25–30 km/h)
  • Rigidity and precision
  • Comfort and efficiency

  Unlike other components, the effect is immediate and clearly noticeable from the first pedal strokes. That’s why changing wheels is often described as almost changing your bike.

• Do you offer carbon spokes?

  Yes, of course: we offer carbon spokes.

  They are built on Erase or SHR hubs, both benefiting from a lifetime warranty. Several colors are available depending on the desired build.

• Will my new wheels be compatible with my frame?

  Yes, in most cases, but several points need to be checked to ensure perfect compatibility:

  • Axle type (sometimes adaptable depending on standards)
  • Brake type: rim or disc
  • Disc mounting: 6-bolt or Centerlock (sometimes adaptable)
  • Drivetrain: freehub body, number of speeds (sometimes modifiable)
  • Frame/fork clearance: accepted wheel and tire diameter/width

  If you are unsure, we can help you verify wheel compatibility with your frame. Do not hesitate to contact us.
