CID – Compatible Integrated Design – Something every WTB rim, hub, or wheel has in common. What’s so great about it? It means you can wander into any bike shop and they can service your wheel with the most common spokes and nipples.

Picture this: you and your riding buddies escape the city and are road tripping somewhere awesome, say Moab, UT for instance. You’re riding and you go for the pass on your friend, who just so happened to be making a mockery of your bike earlier that day. In a matter of seconds a game changer occurs. You hit a rock, go over the bars, break a spoke and land in a cactus. Not a problem, well except for maybe the cactus and a slightly bruised ego. Even though you’re a thousand miles from home, thanks to CID, there is a 99.99% chance every bike shop in Moab has a new spoke for you. Ditch the proprietary tools and the hassle of waiting for special order parts and get on the CID program. Be back on the bike in a day with another chance to be a hero.

Take a peek at the day and the life of WTB/Cannondale/Fox rider Ben Cruz as he shreds the Novato California hills on Mutano TCS tires, Stryker TCS All mountain Wheels, and his favorite Valcon saddle. Ben claims”…all the trails around my house are basically illegal, but we make do. We have made friends with the local land owners so we can hang out there and dig. We can do what ever we want on our own free will…without the worry of getting hassled by the man.”

Frequency rims are a simple solution to get the best tubeless wheel build available at an affordable price. With CID (Compatible Integrated Design) Design Principles, any qualified wheel builder can build up Frequency rims with standard wheel building tools and parts to make a wheel that’s easily to service in the field.
