Warranty

Terms & Conditions

Wheel Angel provides limited warranty on our products against manufacturer defects and local workmanship.

All warranty claims will be based on our own assessment and our decision is final.

For international orders (outside of Singapore) you may need to take pictures / videos of the defective component and email us. If the problem can be solved within your own capacity, we encourage you to do so in order for you to save on freight expenses and risk.

Manufacturer defects

All our parts are warrantied against manufacturer defects from the date of shipping for the period of:

  1. Rims: 24 months
  2. Hub: According to the manufacturer from the date of purchase
  3. Hub Bearings: 6 months
  4. Spokes & Nipples: Lifetime 
  5. Quick Release Skewers: None
  6. Rim Tape: None
  7. Wheel Bag: None

For small wheels (20" & below) with rim brakes

Do not use the wheels for long periods of time going downhill as heat generated in the rims due to dragging the brakes may result in rim warps or cracks. The wheels are built for city riding. No warranty/crash replacement policies cover this. It is also recommended to use the carbon brake pads we supply. If you have to use other brake pads, please ensure that they are meant for carbon rims. Failure to do so voids your wheels’ warranty and may cause unsafe braking performance.

Rider weight limit for small wheels (20" & below) 

All our small wheels have a rider weight limit of 110kg unless otherwise stated. The wheels are intended for use on normal, hard-surface ground e.g. road and pavement. Avoid off-road, steps or kerbs (jumps/drops).

Colored spokes

Whilst we strive to provide high quality colored spokes, the warranty does not cover ordinary wear and tear (cracking, chipping, or peeling) or discoloring, or any condition caused by abnormal use or improper maintenance.

Replacement

If the product / part / component is found indeed to be defective after our assessment, we will try our best to replace it with the same part(s), subject to stock availability. Otherwise we will replace the affected parts with an item that is equivalent in value to the defective item. Wheel Angel Singapore Pte Ltd will not provide any monetary refunds.

Workmanship

For local orders in Singapore, we provide free spoke trueing and minor services like adjustment and tightening of hub preloads, for as long as we are in business. 

Update: 10th January 2021
We now offer lifetime warranty spoke replacement in the event of spoke breakage as a result of material fatigue under normal usage. All replacement spokes are replaced free-of-charge and there is no labour charge.This applies to all past and existing customers who are original owners of our wheels.

For international orders outside of Singapore, we are able to provide service for workmanship if we have our partners in your country. Check with us for more detail. 

That being said, we true our wheels to tolerances of +/- 0.2mm laterally and +/- 0.4mm radially (often much less than that) with spoke tensions of more than 95% consistency. The spokes are then pre-stressed thrice to be bedded in properly into the rims and hub flanges, followed by re-tensioning and trueing again to the tolerances mentioned above. This tedious but necessary process will ensure a high standard of workmanship and build quality. 

Warranty is Non-transferrable

Warranty is only intended to the first & original purchaser of the product and it is not transferable. 

Shipping charges for warranty claims (For International Orders)

If the product is not found to be defective, the purchaser will bear all shipping costs including the shipping cost to return the product to the purchaser. This amount will also be limited to the original shipping cost at the time of initial purchase. We will only start sending the product after we have received the payment for the cost of shipping.
