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: 3-4 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.
  • Please contact us with any questions about these situations or if you need something that  is not listed.
  • 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.

The Juice is Worth the Squeeze!

After hearing some local MTB friends talk about the amazing ride quality of BERD spokes, I had my Ibis Carbon rims re-laced with these lightweight white Dyneema beauties. Saving 150 grams of rotational weight is awesome, but the compliant ride is really what impresses me most. At 140 pounds, I often feel beat up when riding carbon wheels with traditional steel spokes over Midwest rocks and roots. BERD spokes have transformed my wheels, offering a smooth glide over the harshest of conditions. I’m not getting any younger, so I appreciate the added comfort BERD spokes provide, allowing me to ride harder and longer without the wrist and hand fatigue that often comes from repeated blunt force impacts while shredding summer singletrack. If you want to transform your off-road riding experience, look no further than BERD spoke technology!

Berd Service and Ride quality

Bred went above and beyond getting my wheels ready for Unbound and beyond . They worked hard and gave me a little extra effort to assure I had my wheels for the race. Comfort , weight and durability were spot on . I believe any other wheel would be hard pressed to even come close to BERD .
Bravo ! I highly recommend these wheels . I am a 4 time vet of Unbound , Leadville with 40plus years of racing and endurance riding. I have ridden a lot of wheel sets , these are at the pinnacle of wheel builds .

What are you waiting for?

I can't say enough good things about the Berd wheel reuilding service and of course the spokes themselves. If you're on the fence, don't be. Just go ahead and get these spokes.

I got a new berd wheelset for an enduro bike last year and wanted to give them an extended try before committing the rest of my bikes to the hub modifications that would be needed. After being thoroughly impressed riding the first wheelset on SouthEast singletrack for almost a year, I decided to start replacing the spokes on the 3 remaining gravel bikes in the house. I just received my first rebuilt wheelset, the turnaround time was great: < 2 weeks.

The improvements you gain from the spokes are absolutely true: lower weight of course, but lower rotational weight is a game changer. These spokes actually make the bike feel lighter when you're riding it as opposed to just lowering a number on the scale. For me this equates to being less fatigued after any ride and also makes the front end feel lighter and snappier while still be totally in control. The added compliance is a nice bonus too. Your first ride you might not even recognize the new feeling of the bike underneath you. It's awesome.

Ordering Tip: The wheels do not come back taped up, so be ready with the proper width rim tape when they return them to you. It would be super cool if Berd could offer this for an upcharge, but really no problem at all.

2 wheelsets down, 2 to go.

Currently riding on:
- Nobl TR37 with i9 Hydra hubs
- Nextie 29UML34 with DT Swiss 240 rear and Dynamo 28 15 110
