WHEEL ARMOUR

WHEEL ARMOUR

Your rims take the hits your frame never sees.

Rim sidewalls sit closest to the ground and catch everything the trail throws up. Stone strikes on the leading edge, tyre levers biting into the bead during a trailside repair, rock gardens scraping the outer wall, and grit working away at the finish every ride. On carbon rims that surface damage is the first thing a buyer inspects. On alloy it is where the anodising goes.

Wheel Armour is a clear protection film cut for the sidewall band between the spoke nipples and the bead, on both sides of the rim. It takes the abrasion so the rim underneath does not.

  • Cut to your rim. Send us your diameter and sidewall depth and we cut the pieces to match, rather than shipping a strip that needs trimming.
  • Carbon or alloy. Works on both, at any rim depth.
  • Both sides covered. Drive side and non-drive side, measured separately because plenty of rims are asymmetric.
  • Gloss or matte. Match your existing rim finish so it stays out of sight.
  • Comes off clean. No residue, no marked rim, so it protects resale value instead of costing you it.

Available for a single wheel or a pair. Fits 27.5", 29", 650b and 700c.

Measure your wheels

Every kit is cut to your rim. Front and rear are measured separately, so different sizes are no problem.

How to measure

  1. 1

    Use a cloth tape, or a piece of string held against a ruler.

  2. 2

    Measure from the outer edge of the spoke nipple down to the bead, where the rim starts to curve toward the tyre.

  3. 3

    Do both sides. Rims are often asymmetric, so the two numbers may differ.

Front wheel
Rear wheeloptional — leave blank for front only

Measure the rim itself, not the coverage you want. We allow the gaps at the bead and nipple when we cut.

The First Scratch

Rims live closest to the ground. They wear like it.

Your rims catch everything the trail throws up, and rim damage is the first thing a buyer inspects.

1

Stone strikes chipping the leading edge of the sidewall

2

Tyre levers biting into the bead on every trailside repair

3

Rock gardens scraping the outer wall on tight lines

4

Grit and brake dust dulling the finish ride after ride

Questions

Frequently asked questions

How do I measure my rim?+

Use a cloth tape or a piece of string laid against a ruler. Measure from the outer edge of the spoke nipple down to the bead, where the rim starts curving toward the tyre. Measure the rim itself, not the amount of coverage you want. Spoke holes can be staggered, so check a few before settling on a number.

Why measure both sides?+

Plenty of modern rims are asymmetric, so the drive side and non-drive side are often different depths. Measuring both means the film sits flush on each side instead of overhanging on one.

Does it work on carbon and alloy?+

Both. The film protects the surface either way. On carbon it guards the finish buyers inspect first, on alloy it protects the anodising.

Will it affect braking?+

No. Coverage sits on the sidewall band between the spoke nipples and the bead, well clear of disc rotors.

Gloss or matte?+

Match your existing rim so the protection stays out of sight. Gloss film on a gloss rim, matte on matte.

Can I install it myself?+

Yes. Kits ship with instructions. In Cape Town you can also book a professional fit at our workshop.
