Reynolds Cycling is accepting trade-ins of ANY used wheels between now and Sept 30. Your trade in will net you a $250 credit on any new Reynolds carbon wheelset, but you’ve gotta run it through your local dealer…offer not valid online. Find a dealer and get that cobwebbed wheelset out of your garage.

Alright, no desire for their wheels, but that picture is (deleted) adorable.

Agreed. and where do I find disc brakes on a kids bike that size?

This picture is symbolic of many riders wanting the option to keep their 26″ bikes on the trail and the industry doing their best to get everyone to spend money on new standards.

@BearCol, how is the industry stopping you from keeping 26″ on the trail? Is it the 27.5/29″ trails they keep building?

Anyone know the brand of the kids bike in the photo?

Sorry, but $250 off a $2400 wheelset just doesn’t seem like that great of a deal. You could probably find a better deal by working directly with a LBS.

@mtnbikej, So you know that Reynolds carbon wheels start at $1600.00 a set so yes it is a good deal. And if you do read above you have to work with your local bike shop.

@BearCol, yes the industry is looking for ways to get riders to buy bikes. They are not trying to keep you from rolling out to your trail on your 26″ bike. You can still get parts and you can still buy a 26″ bike when it’s time for a new one b/c that’s basically what a 27.5 is.

Depending on how literal they are when they say “any” wheelset, $250 could be a GREAT deal…albeit if you’re actually thinking of getting Reynolds wheels.

I’d assume bare minimum they don’t want a completely ****ed up wheelset, but would cheap Campagnolo Khamsins or OEM wheels actually qualify? $250 of $1600 may only be 15%, but it can pretty much be a free 15% that rids of wheels that just ate space in the garage. If the sent-in wheels go to a proper recycling program, even better.

But all that being said I’m not in the market for their wheels 🙁
