  • • Proprietary and special parts for frames: matching fork, aero seat posts, integrated cockpits, batteries, and thru-axles are included in our offers and are required for submissions to pass inspection.

We are greatly limiting our offers for tubular wheels as demand for this type of tire and wheel combo continues to decrease.

Read our article on the difference between clincher, tubular and tubeless wheels for additional details before submitting your wheels.

We don’t accept items with issues that would deem them unsellable, such as:

  • • Structural flaws in the frame
  • • Dented, or cracked rims
  • • Significant paint damage
  • • Missing, or failed components including drivetrain, and E-bike batteries

Trade-in values are not guaranteed. Make sure your items are in good working condition, with all the necessary parts included for the bike, frame or wheelsets to function, otherwise we may amend the offer.
