Reynolds Steps Up for Riders Left Behind by CSS / Forge+Bond Closure
Reynolds Cycling is taking action to support riders
Affected by the recent shutdown of CSS Composites, the company behind Forge+Bond and a number of white-label rim brands including those used by Chris King, Revel, and others. With the closure of CSS and the discontinuation of warranty and crash replacement support for their carbon wheels, many riders have found themselves without options. Reynolds Cycling — a brand with one of the longest histories in composite manufacturing and carbon wheels in the industry — is stepping in to offer a solution.

A Good-Faith Solution for Riders
Effective immediately, Reynolds is offering crash replacement pricing on complete Reynolds wheelsets to any rider who owns wheels manufactured by CSS / Forge+Bond or the brands that sourced rims from them. This offer applies whether the rider’s wheels were damaged in a crash, are out of warranty, or they simply no longer wish to ride a product with no long-term support. The goal is simple: to provide a path forward for affected riders – one backed by a trusted brand committed to long-term reliability and service.

“We didn’t create this problem, but we can help solve it. Reynolds has always stood behind its riders, and when we saw the uncertainty facing owners of CSS-built wheels, we knew we could offer a fair, good-faith solution. Our priority is to keep riders rolling on wheels they can trust.” -Todd Tanner, Director of Wheel Development
