FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Where are Scribe Wheels built?
ALL wheels under the Scribe domain are 100% hand-built by our master wheel technicians directly from our operations in Belfast, Northern Ireland.
We work with the best cycling manufactuers across the globe in the pursuit of offering our riders the fastest wheels possible with exceptional QC standards. As such, our supply chain is extremely unique. The carbon-fibre & bearings comes from Japan, the grease comes from Germany, and our hubs come from Taiwan.
We never hold back.
Can I customise my Scribe decals to match my bike or kit?
How do I quieten my Scribe Wheels?
Most love the buzz but while we understand our hub designs may be slightly noisier than others. This is actually recognised as a sign of positive engagement. However, everyone within the Scribe Collective is different. So, if you're interested in dampening our freehub buzz, the tone can be muted by applying some of our exclusive MV1 Ratchet Grease
