Parts & Services

Our new valves come in 42mm and 65mm lengths and are available anyway you want them.  Whether you want it all to match, some parts to stand out, or a complete smorgasbord, it’s up to you.  Simply pick and choose from the drop downs and we’ll build your valve.

Need help picking the correct length?  We suggest adding at least 15mm to whatever your rim depth is.  For example, if you have a set of Maple XCOs which are 25mm deep, go with the 42mm valve.

Colors left to right: Green, Red, Blue, Gold, Black, Bronze, Oil Slick, Pewter, Pink, Turquoise, Silver, Orange, Purple.

All valves orders are sold in pairs and include:

• 1 Pair Of Core Tool Caps
• Removable Cores
• Replaceable Bases

Got nice hubs laced to old rims?  We can help upgrade you to Maple.  Send us your hubs and we'll build them with:

• Maple Rims
• New Spokes
• New Nipples
• New Tubeless Tape
• New Tubeless Valves
• Maple Decals

This doesn't work for every hub so reach out first on our "contact us" page and tell us what you've got.  We'll let you know if it is compatible.  Here's what we typically work with:

• DT Swiss, Industry Nine, Chris King, Project 321, Hope, and Shimano hubs
• Hubs must be in excellent condition
• 28 hole hubs for MTB/Gravel rims (XCO, XCM, EMP, CXG)
• 24 hole hubs for Disc Road/CX/Tri rims (RCX, RCT)

Purchase this before sending us your hubs and then we'll contact you with details.  Maple Rim Upgrade Orders must be approved before you ship your hubs.

Time to rebuild your set of Maple Wheels?  It doesn't happen often, but if you ride enough it does happen.  Your brand new bike eventually needs a tune-up, your suspension needs service, etc.  Your wheels are no different.

Send us your Maple wheels and we'll rebuild them with:

• New Spokes
• New Nipples
• New Tubeless Tape
• New Tubeless Valves
• Fresh Decals

Purchase this before sending us your wheels and then we'll contact you with details.  You can also purchase this with a Protected Double Wheel Box.  We ship you the box, you pack your wheels in it, you send them back to us with the label that we provide.

It happens.  A derailleur through the rear wheel or the wrong way down an off camber.  Spokes can break.

Included with your Maple wheelset was a card with the spoke lengths of your wheel build.  But if you lost it you can always have us look up your order or measure the spoke from the bend to the tip.

We try to keep as many spares in stock as we can but on occasion may need to order your length.

It is recommended that a qualified mechanic install your spokes and true your wheel.  If you lack that experience please take it to your local bike shop for repair.

We've tested a lot of sealants and there's a ton of great stuff out there.  What we love about Muc-Off is it works and it lasts.  You can get 6 months out of it and don't have a big mess to clean when it eventually dries up.

Muc-Off is available in a variety of sizes.  We're a big fan of the pouches because they also serve as the injector.

 

Tried and true!  Stan's works and lasts 2-7 months and can sealant most common punctures.  Choose Race Sealant for larger punctures and more protection, just keep in mind that you cannot inject it through the valve and must pour it into the tire directly.

 

If you've ever purchased custom wheels from us you have been underwhelmed when the box(es) arrived.  Like, "Dude-I-hope-my-wheels-aren't-in-there-underwhelmed."

So we fixed that and custom designed our own double wheel box that fits just about any wheel set.  Your wheels will fit with rotors, cassette, and even tires installed.  The stacking tray slots adapt to the tire/rim width as they're packed so that they hold firmly.  There's even room for a small accessory box (which we include) to hold your skewers, thru axles, sealant bottle, gel packets, etc.  We're not judging you.

Sounds big right?  It kinda is to be able to have this versatility.  And while cardboard is biodegradable it is still important to re-use it or recycle it.  This box will literally last as long as you need it too, but if you only need it to get your wheels from us the one time then we can (upon request) send you a return shipping label and we'll re-use it.

Popular uses include but are not limited to:

• Shipping our wheels to you
• Shipping your wheels to us
• Shipping the wheels you just sold so that you can buy Maples
• Shipping Maples you just sold so that you can buy more Maples
• Traveling with your wheels
• Moving
• Cat Storage/Temporary Feline Housing

30" x 12" x 30"  -  Easily cut down to 26" x 12" x 26" when tires are not mounted

Maple offers two upgrades to DT Swiss's standard ratchet that comes on all hubs. All DT Swiss hubs come standard with the 18t ratchet which provides 20 degree engagement. If you prefer a faster engagement, the 36t upgrade offers engagement every 10 degrees and the 54t upgrade offers engagement every 6.6 degrees.

NOTE: This option is only available as a service on new wheel purchases. We do not ship the ratchet kits individually.

Have a drawer full of 6 bolt rotors but a bunch of center lock wheels? Same with us. That's why we use the DT Swiss CL to 6B adaptor. It makes converting so easy. Sold individually.

The truth about tubeless tape is that it’s not really anything proprietary or special.  It’s not even really designed for bikes.  No matter how much marketing BS (and cost) the other bike companies add to their tape, it’s just tape.  The only issue is that you need to buy it in massive bulk to get it at reasonable prices.  So hear it is at realistic pricing.

This is hands down the best tape we've ever used, and the second is the Muc-Off tape.  It works on everything… carbon, alloy, wide, narrow, road and mountain.  It just works all the time.

If you need help figuring out what size you need please use the guide below.  Please figure out what your rim internal width is.  This can be found with a quick Google search.  Internal width and whether it’s “hooked” or “hookless” will help you determine what width you need.

20mm tape is best for:

• Hookless – 21mm internal and under width rims
• Hooked – 20mm and under internal width rims

25mm tape is best for:

• Hookless – 22mm-27mm internal width rims
• Hooked – 21-26mm internal width rims

30mm tape is best for:

• Hookless – 28mm-32mm internal width rims
• Hooked – 27mm-31mm internal width rims

35mm tape is best for:

• Hookless – 33mm-38mm internal width rims
• Hooked – 32mm-37mm internal width rims

Introducing Super Custom Decals!

Choose from designs that we've already created or help us create something truly custom for you.  Custom logos take about 3-4 weeks to process.

Your computer monitor will show you one thing but the decals in person will be slightly another.  Plus, these are renderings.

Complex designs inside the logo can be created, send us an email and we'll see if we can get you set up.  Just let us know what you had in mind.

This machined valve cap is also your core removal tool.  It’s really as simple as that.

These are sold in pairs and come in an entire rainbow of colors. This is for the just the valve caps, if you need valves too, check out our tubeless valves that include these caps.

Colors from left to right: Green, Red, Blue, Gold, Black, Bronze, Oil Slick, Pewter, Pink Turquoise, Silver, Orange, Purple

Granite JUICY NIPPLE is a valve cap with extra function!  You can use it to remove/install valve core in order to top up tire sealant, anytime anywhere.

JUICY NIPPLE comes 7 different colorways.

Orange Seal is a reliable sealant that lasts and seals large punctures.  It comes in multiple sizes and even in an Endurance formula that seals larger punctures and lasts even longer.

 

We're full custom so it makes sense that we should provide ceramic wheel bearing upgrades.  Who better than Kogel?  Nobody.

We can install Kogel ceramic wheel bearings as part of a new wheel purchase or as an upgrade later on if you ship us your Maple wheels.  You'll pay return shipping both ways.

Kogel Bearing Upgrades are available as "Hubshells Only" which is four bearings for $199, or "Full Upgrade" which includes the freehub body with six total bearings for $259.  We do not sell Kogel bearings separately.

Straight from Kogel:

Wheel bearings are among the fastest rotating parts on a bicycle. They are also under constant load and there are six of them, which means twelve seals. For all these reasons it is worth upgrading from the stock bearings that came in your wheel set.

The Kogel Bearing Advantage

Kogel ceramic bearing balls are smoother and rounder than any steel bearing because of its material properties. Silicon Nitride can be polished much smoother than steel. Also, it does not compress as much as steel, leaving the contact points with the bearing races very small and not squashed like a tennis ball under load. Compressing any material under load and trying to roll it will cause unnecessary drag.

With 2 bearings in the front, 2 in the rear and 2 in the freehub, it is worth considering what you want from your seals. The Kogel Bearings road seals are built to create the lowest friction we can get out of a sealed bearing. The cross seals are built to have the best protection against the elements. Pick whichever best suits your riding style.
