Rent a wheelset
June 8th, 2007 by nikola
Recently I thought of an idea for business - how cool it would be to rent racing wheels instead of buying them. This is good for us that do long races, since we need the expensive racing wheels only few times a year and sometimes we even need different sets of wheels for different races (some Ironman races are hilly, some are flat).
I am always for sharing and renting opposed to one person owning everything. It does not make much sense to me to pay 1500 euros for something I will use only few days a year, and than a guy next door also buys the same thing only to also use it for few days a year. I would apply the same mentality to wheels and also to a bunch of other stuff. However I would not share or rent wetsuits since, as we all know, some people pee in them.
RaceDayWheels.com is one of the businesses I found online that rents wheels for a week and for a nice price of 140 usd. Check them out or if you have experience with their service please post comments.
