Here is what just a few of Aerospoke's customers have to say
22 April 2008 we went from Nuremburg, Germany along the Rhein-Main canal and then along the Danube from Kelheim, Germany to Vienna, Austria, 412 miles. I hauled between fifty and sixty pounds each day for ten days on the back of my Lightningbikes P-38 with a Free Radical frame extension from Xtracycle, using a 20 inch Aerospoke front wheel and a 26 inch Aerospoke rear wheel. They are great looking, more aerodynamic and trouble free wheels for anyone who loves their bike and they give your bike a futuristic look that is super.

Aerospoke wheelset is the fastest wheelset I've ever used. Simply perfect for record attempts that require high speeds - like a 24h drafting record that I've set together with Jure Robic a few weeks ago with average speed of 40,77 km/h! Once you get your Aerospokes rolling, there is just no way of stopping them...Thank you AEROSPOKE for letting me race with your wheels!

During the AMERICAN SUMMITS tour, my Aerospoke wheels fell off the sides of 200-foot cliffs, got buried in swamp water, and froze at -72 degrees below zero for days on the slopes of Alaska's Denali. AND STILL they were ready to ride, never needing to be trued. During the TOUR de CUBA, all I had to deal with were triple-digit heat, and a couple of crocodiles snapping at my rear wheel when trying to make a hasty getaway. If the Aerospoke wheels can handle my punishing brutality, they can certainly take you to where you need to go!

Some call him Captain America. Some call him Kevin Foster. We prefer to call him the ultimate Aerospoke proving ground. No one has taken Aerospoke higher and through more varied terrain and temperature changes than this man.
Why does he choose Aerospoke? Well, there are no bike shops on top of the mountain, or in the middle of Cuba. Besides, he prefers to carry a camera instead of a spoke wrench. To learn more about the Captain and his adventures, click HERE

Every time I attempt a world record, I need as much confidence in my equipment as I have in myself. With Aerospoke wheels, there is never any doubt. During my 24 hour track record, my Aerospoke clincher wheels performed flawlessly. If you are looking to invest in a set of wheels which will provide performance, under a variety of conditions, stability and long life; I highly recommend Aerospoke wheels.

No other set of wheels even comes close to the performance of Aerospokes. They have significantly increased my overall speed, and their durability is unsurpassed.

I have had your wheels since 1992 and they have never been in the shop!!!! They work great!
Mountain bike customer, Michael Litton
I recently got a set of Aerospoke wheels for my recumbent (26" rear, 20" front), and I have to say that I love them! The ride is smooth and stable...and FAST!! I find myself pedaling 1 or 2 gears higher than I did with spoked wheels, consistently! I may even have to get a different cassette with a stiffer top gear! These wheels are great! Thank you so much for making such a top quality product! I will enjoy riding these wheels for years to come. Thanks again!

I just bought my second set of Aerospokes and I have to say that you guys build some great wheels. You can't even compare them to other composite wheels or spoked wheels in my opinion. They are in a class all by themselves. When it comes to price and performance, Aerospoke stands alone. No more broken spokes 50 miles from home, and no more out of true wheels. Thanks for a great product.

We got your wheels several years ago and have been using them aggressively on our main demonstrator bike as THE ideal state for a military bike.

Without a doubt the best upgrade I've ever made on my bike. Plus, the extra attention you receive when riding on Aerospokes is just the icing on the cake.
Road customer, Joe Dunlap- MI
I have used the Aerospoke Mt Bike wheels for the past year, and they deliver! As a clydesdale athlete (210 lbs.) I need wheels that are bomb proof for Mt Bike training. The Texas Hill Country Mt Bike trails are so rocky and rough on equipment that the Aerospoke wheels are really the only ones that can take the abuse on a daily basis...Thank you for your support and for making great wheels!
MTB customer, Jim Slauson- TX
...Indestructible, lightweight, and requiring no maintenance. In addition, they look great cruising down Rodeo Drive! They are truly a fine product virtually eliminating down time for wheel rebuilding, truing and cleaning.
Police Bicycle Patrol Officer, L. Hosino- CA
I would like to take this opportunity to tell you that I got my first set of Aerospoke wheels somewhere around 1990 and have been totally delighted with them. Since that time, I have not had to true a wheel, replace or tighten a spoke, or try to figure out if the newest, latest, greatest thing in spoke configuration or rim profile is going to make me a better bicyclist! So keep up the good work.
Aerospoke road rider, Paul Smythe- OR
Due to the amount of equipment officers carry and demands we place upon our bikes daily, it is difficult to find a wheel that will hold up. Seems the conventional spoke wheels just won't hold up to the daily stair climbing, curb jumping or powerslides that officers place on them. I am happy to say that over the past year that I have been riding your wheels I have had no downtime due to wheel problems. These wheels are as true today as a year ago when I put them on my bike and as an instructor, they have received, not only the daily patrol abuse, but also the added abuse of doing 10 schools over the past year....I would recommend these wheels to any Police Bike Unit. They are dependable, strong, lightweight and require no maintenance. Oh, one more plus, they look cool.........
Police patrol officer and instructor and competitor, D. Hudson- CA
...The wheels are lighter than I expected. Just wanted to say after one minute on a rough trail, I know the wheels were better than any set I have ever used.
Mountain bike customer, Patrick B., New York
I cycled across the country this summer with the American Lung Associations Big Ride Across America on Aerospokes. These wheels take the abuse that everyday cycling can hand them and they stay true. I never had a problem with the wheels.They are also fast and smooth. I was one of the mechanics on the trip and saw all the spoke problems- Not for me! There was also another pair of Aerospokes on the trip. The head mechanic had a pair almost 10 years old; he too had never had a problem. I am an Aerospoke customer for life.
Road Customer, Chris Ely, Pa.
Yesterday was the first day on my new Aerospokes and it was the most bomb ride ever. Your wheels are amazing and it completely changed the way my bike rides and feels. Now I really feel like I got something underneath me. Good Work! Thanks.
Road Customer, J. Hopson, CA
I am a security bike patrol officer for a large mall complex in Hawaii on the Island of Maui. I bought a set of your wheels 3 years ago and have used them extensively in my patrol duties, as well as mountain biking. In the past I have tried and used many types of metal spoked rims and have not found the reliability and durability that the Aerospoke wheel has given me. Everyday while on patrol, I'm constantly bombarded with questions about my bike but especially about the Aerospoke wheels. I have many friends that are mountain bikers and they have all tried the other competitors wheels and they have only been disappointed in the quality of the other products. I thank you and you staff for putting out such a great product and look forward to being a loyal and true customer of Aerospoke.

It is one of my deepest beliefs that there are those in this world who "understand" how things work and then there are the rest. If you are a "big" guy like me (6'3", 255lbs.) and you're tired of broken spokes- order a set of Aerospokes NOW. The wheels accelerate and cut through the wind better than my old 32 hole, wire spoked, "buggy whip" wheels. They handle very well in cross-winds and are the best I've ever ridden in a head-wind. On the flats, you can haul some serious butt on these things! >Having put 100 of the most enjoyable miles in recent memory on my new set, I could not be happier! The people at Aerospoke "understand" how to make wheels that will make you feel like a kid again. The peace of mind that comes with these wheels makes them worth every penny.
Mountain Wheel customer, J. Scranton, Normal Il
After cycling for over 30 years, I thought I had experienced it all. Your super fast, super cool wheels have brought back the feeling I had when I bought my 3-speed Schwinn with the chrome "stik-shift" on the top tube. Thank you.

"I ride my bike consistently every day, keeping detailed performance logs.. I recently lent my front Aerospoke to a friend who wanted to try it. I put my old wheel back on my bike so that I could keep riding. On my next ride, I noticed that my average speed was down about 1 mile per hour. I felt like I was dragging something. I decided to ride the bike like that the rest of the week to see if it was just a fluke. I was consistently averaging 1mile per hour less. When I put the Aerospoke back on the next week, my averages immediately went back up 1 mile per hour. I love the wheels. They really do work! My friend should be calling you soon for his own set. He didn't want to give it back. Thank you Aerospoke!"
