Make your wheels better than new by rebuilding your existing wheels with Berd spokes. Your wheels will lose 100 – 200 g of rotational weight, which will help you accelerate faster and ascend easier. You will ride with ease over rough terrain with 200% better vibration damping than steel spokes.

• Significantly less expensive than buying new wheels
• Also applies to new hubs and rims
• Current lead time for most wheelsets: 2-3 weeks from the time that parts arrive at Berd

Options:

• Choose what to (re)build:  wheelset or single wheel 
• Choose the number of total spokes for your wheelset (44, 48, 52, 56, 60, or 64) or single wheel (20, 24, 28, 32, 36)
• Choose spoke color: white or black
• Default spoke nipples are Sapim's aluminum 16mm Double Square Polyax with Secure Lock in black

- Shipping: Find a box and pay for shipping your wheels, hubs, or rims to Berd. Please indicate order number on package when shipping. Ensure all loose components including tires, disc brake rotors, valves, tape, cassette, etc. are removed prior to shipping. Do not remove freehub body or end caps from the hubs, as these are necessary for proper wheel building.

Disclaimers:

  • Hubs that are not J-bend or standard tangential straight pull must be pre-approved by Berd prior to sending.
  • All rims must have access holes (centered over spoke holes) that allow tensioning from the tire side of the rim.
  • We are unable to rebuild many "system" wheelsets with proprietary spoke/hub/rim systems, along with all wheels that use radially laced, straight pull hubs.
  • Some rims are front and/or rear specific. Please notify us of these situations before the build is started to ensure that the wheels are built correctly.
  • Some hubs require modifying the hub flange, which may void the warranty of your hub manufacturer.
  • If wheels are sent with metal spokes installed those spokes will be removed and disposed of. Metal spokes are not returned with the completed wheels.
  • Please contact us with any questions about these situations or if you need something that  is not listed.
  • Please see our list of Known Hub Compatibility Issues list for incompatible hubs.
  • On single wall or shallow rims, the spokes & nipples have a chance of protruding into the rim bed, which can lead to tire/tube failure. Please ensure that there is proper clearance between the rim bed and spoke bed before ordering.

Backed by Berd's 5-Year Limited Warranty

TECHNOLOGY
Berd spokes are made from an advanced polymer called ultra high molecular weight polyethylene that has 12 times the strength-to-weight ratio of steel and floats on water. It also has a significantly improved fatigue life and is impervious to the elements.

Awesome spokes

I want to thank you guys a bunch for rebuilding my wheel with your awesome spokes. I (had) initially bought a set of ultra light carbon wheels from another brand, and they were a problem from the beginning. Spokes would come unfastened, and break repeatedly. I had the wheels rebuilt at my local bike shop several times, with different sets of carbon and steel spokes. Nothing worked. So I decided to send them to you guys for one more try before I gave up and trashed the wheel(s). Close to 1,000 miles later on the wheel(s) with your spokes and I couldn’t be happier. They’re super light, super strong, and super reliable. Thanks again.

Once again

Once again, awesome wheel build! I’ve had 2 1/2 Berd wheel builds now, and it’s safe to say, I’ll only use Berd spokes on all my future wheel builds. They’re super strong, super light and super vibration dampening. I love em!

A Worthy Upgrade

I had an old wheel set lying around and have been blown away at how compliant and light the Berd spokes are. I am building up a set of road wheels now and putting these on too. Amazing how much it soaks up chatter on gravel and roads.

Smooth process excellent customer service

I think this is my six or seventh wheel set. I've ordered ones directly from them. They've all performed really well. I've also had quite a few custom built and all of them have come out great zero issues my oldest I believe is four years old with no issues whatsoever, I have them on my Enduro bike all the way to my ultra lightweight cross country bike under 1000 g wheel set.
