Edco Wheels UK
2015 edco - since 1867 (First bicycle parts circa 1902) Couvet is just half hour driving from Neuchatel, one hour from Bern and two hours from Zurich or Geneva. This is the part of Switzerland where high precision engineering has a long tradition and where precision tool makers and machine builders are based. Each edco wheel set is named after a Swiss alpine mountain. edco was founded in 1867 and first started producing bicycle components in 1902. In 2007 the company became part of the Total Support Group of Rob van Hoek, a Dutch engineer and businessman. The Total Support Group is a design and engineering organization with customers such as Philips and ASML. edco focused on the development and production of state of the art wheel sets in aluminium, carbon or a combination of these two materials. During this process, a number of new processes were developed and patented. Sales of edco wheel sets started in 2009 and soon the reputation of edco was a fact. Engineering Quality control Analysis Hub assembly Testing All hand built Production Tuning spoke tension edco developments, patents and mission MULTISYS The patented Multisys body was developed by edco. Cassettes from Campagnolo and those of Shimano/Sram can be fitted on this body without any problem. This is very practical for the dealer who doesn’t need to stock series of cassette body’s but also handy for the cyclist if he ever decides to change to another brand. ANTI-BITE The patented Multisys body has three hardened steel inserts that prevent the cassette from damaging the soft aluminium material. COMPOSITE SANDWICH STRUCTURE The Albula and Furka rims from the Optima series are produced in a very special way. The aluminium outer rim is fixed to its full carbon base by a special procedure, in the rim bed wrapped by carbon, a connection that is permanent. RIM DRILLING MACHINE The Total Support Group developed a rim drilling machine in cooperation with edco that ensures that spoke holes are always drilled at the correct angle. By doing this there is no unnecessary tension that often leads to spontaneous breakage of spokes. This machine is able to store thousands of different spoke patterns in its memory. It will carry out these instructions with the highest precision. HAND BUILT AND INTENSIVELY TESTED Every edco wheel is hand built by well trained artisans. It takes quite some time before a mechanic may called a “Master Wheelbuilder”. The procedure is based on a strict production protocol and each step is checked before the process moves onto the next phase. It all ends with a final inspection. This is done with precision tools. Each wheel is only named as an edco wheel once our builders are in 100% agreement. Carefully packed, it will then be ready to find its way to its new owner. HIGH-END QUALITY It’s very common that high-end parts are only used in the top models of a brand. Not so at edco. Each wheel in every series is made from quality parts. High precision Swiss hubs, spokes from Sapim and stainless steel industrial bearings. No concessions made.

Bernina 90mm depth / 24mm wide 1891g/set Grimsel Tub 1246g / Clincher 1345g AeroSport series After careful consideration edco chose use Reynolds rims to make their AeroSport wheels. Reynolds rims have a proven aerodynamic advantage, especially when riding in a group or in crosswinds. Designed by Paul Lew, Reynolds’ new Aero line bucks the trend by using a deep “V” profile with an almost exaggerated point. With rounded wheels, he says the other brands claim that shape reduces crosswind drag, but Lew says his DET performs at lower drag with a higher angle of attack than rims with a broad spoke face (ie. fat rounded edge). Besides reduced drag , this lends stability to the wheels and makes them easy to control in crosswinds. Lew says this design calms the turbulence on the leading part (front) of the wheel that sees clean air and that once the air passes the fork and spokes it’s turbulent air and the aerodynamics don’t matter as much as some brands are touting. Lew says they also spent a lot of time with Computer Fluid Dynamics to design the rim, to be able to hide the round, non bladed portion of the spokes, inside the rim. The new rim shape is called DET (Dispersive Effect Termination), which is based on aircraft design. Contrary to the rounded, fat aero wheels that are all the rage, DET aims to calm the turbulence caused by bike wheels. Lew says this design has been proven in the wind tunnel and on the road, also the blunt rounded edge on many other brands create more turbulence behind. edco improved the aerodynamics of the Aero rims even further by using their specially developed rim drilling machine, to create smaller spoke holes at a perfect angle in the narrow point of the V-shaped Aero rim. The Aero rims are equiped with the proven CTg (Cyro-Glass Transition). It’s a combination of specific resins, carbon fibres and their CryoBlue brake pads made for optimal braking. These have shown to reduce braking temperatures up to 38°C and increase the total heat tolerance to about 315°C. AeroSport series TSG carbon rim drilling machine uilt B and H Furka 58mm depth / 24mm wide 1651g/set The Total Support Group (TSG) & edco developed a 7 axle CNC rim drilling machine. This ensures that spoke holes will always be drilled at the correct angle. This eliminates unnecessary tension that often leads to spontaneous breakage of spokes. TSG developed a multiple CNC special program by using hub and rim dimension parameters. The machine drills the spoke holes in the V-shaped rims of the AeroSport series with the highest precision.
