The Cycle Division

While the Cycle Division now builds wheelsets its primary proposition serves the IBD with pretty much any size configuration out there. The range is broad and supports the IBD wishing to provide anyone who rides a bike – be it for lifestyle, health or commuting purposes – with a continuous supply of well-made wheels. All wheels are hand- finished, labeled and bagged under the ‘D2O Wheel Building Division’ tag. Skewers or axle nuts (where applicable) are always included at no extra cost.

Eurobike The Cycle Division can also supply
tailored products and provide rapid turnaround of special wheel builds. Another area Cycle Division specialises in is of free issue work.
