Blackbird Information Guide
WHEELSET SELECTION:
Blackbird Cycling wheelsets are made to order and require your initial selection of braking surface and gearing to suit the bike you have (i.e. Shimano 12 speed with disc brakes). In addition, we offer 'Wheels Only' or 'Wheels Ready' packages for domestic customers located in Australia.
A 'Wheels Only' selection means you will source your preferred tyres, tubes and cassette to be applied after delivery. Select 'Wheels Ready' and we will set you up by adding accessories to your wheels, including our pick of tyres, inner tubes and the cassette to match your bike’s groupset. We’ll get it ready so you’re #freetofly.
We carry a small amount of wheels in stock and in the event that we have the wheelset to match your selection, orders will be dispatched within 1-2 business days and tracking details provided.
NB: Disc brake rotors are not included with disc brake wheelsets and must be purchased separately. 'Wheels Ready' excludes tubeless tyre set up. 'Wheels Ready' orders will be completed with inner tubes.
