Compared With the Alternatives
VQR-01 and VQR-02 share the same 48 gram weight and dimensions; VQR-02 simply offers five colours instead of three. VQR-03 is 66 grams per pair and covers only 100 mm at the front.
Customisation and Manufacturing
Machined parts are cut from solid bar on the CNC side of the Shiyan Town plant. Alloy, tolerance and anodised colour are all specified at drawing stage, and the mark is usually lasered rather than printed so it survives handling and solvent.
- Alloy and tolerance built to your drawing
- Laser marking or engraving on the anodised surface
- Anodised colour matched to an approved sample
- Polybag, card or colour box packing
Fitting and Living With It
Step 1
Check your hub spacing before ordering: 130 mm is road, 135 mm is mountain.
Step 2
Close the lever so it takes firm hand pressure at the halfway point.
Step 3
The lever should end up along the fork or seatstay, never pointing forward.
Step 4
Re-check after the first ride on a new wheel.
