Key Features
Firecrest Aero Carbon Rim Design
The Firecrest rim profile provides aerodynamic advantages at speed and enhances stability in crosswinds. Its refined shape helps reduce drag while maintaining control and riding confidence through variable conditions.
Tubeless-Ready Construction
These rims accept tubeless tyres to improve traction, comfort and rolling efficiency. Tubeless setups reduce pinch flats and allow riders to run lower pressures for better grip and compliance on rough roads.
700c Racing Performance
With a versatile 700c diameter, this wheelset is suited to fast road rides, triathlons, and crit racing. The aerodynamic shape helps sustain high speeds with less effort and keeps your bike performing at its best across gradients.
Lightweight Carbon Build
Constructed from premium carbon fibre, the 404 Firecrest wheelset finds an ideal balance between weight and stiffness for climbing prowess and acceleration response. Riders benefit from both efficiency and responsiveness in varied terrain.
High-Quality Hubs and Bearings
Durable hubs with precision bearings ensure smooth rotation and reliability under load. Designed to support long training miles, racing stress, and frequent use, they contribute to consistent performance and longevity.
All-Condition Compatibility
Compatible with modern rim-brake and disc brake systems (choose the appropriate version), the 404 Firecrest provides high performance across different bike builds. Tubeless setup also enhances versatility for endurance riding or rougher paved surfaces.

FAQ
How long does a Gold Service take?
As this is a full strip down and rebuild, it usually takes slightly longer than our other services. Most Gold services are completed within 1 to 2 weeks depending on workload and any additional parts required.
Is this service suitable for older bikes?
Yes. Older bikes often benefit the most from a full strip down, especially if they have not had a thorough service in some time.
Will parts be replaced automatically?
No. We will always contact you before replacing any worn or damaged parts. No additional work is carried out without your approval.
What is the difference between Silver and Gold?
The Gold Service includes a full strip down and rebuild, along with headset and bottom bracket removal and re-greasing. Silver focuses more on adjustment, wheel truing, and drivetrain cleaning.
How often should I book a Gold Service?
For regularly ridden bikes, once a year is a good guideline. If you ride in harsh conditions or high mileage, you may benefit from it more frequently.
