At Cykel House, we are committed to bringing you the best products at the best prices. If you find a product cheaper elsewhere, contact us via email or via live chat and we'll see if we can match that price.

We do have some criteria to meet when offering a Price Match.

  • To request a Price Match, provide the URL to the competitor’s lower price. If in-store, you can show us on your phone or a printed copy.
  • The competitor must be a UK-registered shop. All our products are brand new and genuine, therefor we cannot match prices from private sellers, auction sites, or international businesses.
  • The product must be identical to ours in condition, model, colour, and size, and the competitor must have it in stock at the time of the Price Match.

  • The competitor’s price must include VAT and delivery charges, and be listed on their website. We cannot match prices combined with other offers, including vouchers, clearance, or discontinued items.

  • Price Match offers cannot be applied after the sale is complete.

  • We cannot offer Price Matches for orders using insurance vouchers or on products purchased through finance or cycle-to-work schemes; these items must be paid in full using our usual payment methods.

  • If your Price Match is accepted, we will provide a discount code or link to complete your order. Only one discount code can be used per order.

  • All Price Match requests are subject to Cykel House's discretion, and we reserve the right to decline, alter, or withdraw this offer at any time.

Please note, whilst we can Price Match the majority of products, sending this information does not guarantee a price match is viable.

WHY WE MAKE THIS

 

Originally, we made this hub to be the cornerstone of our hub product line. It was one of those product releases where we put all our hub and bearing experience into, and ended up with a hub that struck that perfect balance between weight, performance, durability and looks. Since the advent of disc brakes (and the R45D), we keep making it, because it’s still that cornerstone hub, and so many of our riders still love to rock their rim brakes on road and off.

WHY YOU WANT IT

The R45 front hub is lighter and more aerodynamic than most built-to-last hubs on the market. We use a narrow hub body and low flanges to make the R45 a rock solid starting point for any fast wheel build.

 

Our bearings, both steel and ceramic, have heat-treated, surgical grade steel races that are machined simultaneously to ensure perfect matching. The quality and speed of our bearings is what you will feel (and hear) on every ride. As Chris King bearing tracks burnish they get actually get faster. A little bit of regular love (i.e. service) will keep this hub rolling for years upon years of demanding use.
