Wheels Manufacturing’s SOLO-Spline and SOLO-XD Kits Earn 2024 Bikepacking Gear of the Year Honors

Celebrating Innovation, Simplicity, and Performance
We’re proud to share that Wheels Manufacturing’s SOLO-Spline and SOLO-XD single-speed conversion kits have been recognized in Bikepacking.com’s 2024 Gear of the Year Awards. It’s a nod to our goal of building reliable, rider-driven components.
Why this matters: As freehub standards evolved—from long-running HG to newer Micro Spline and XD—few single-speed options existed for the newer bodies. Our Colorado-machined SOLO kits fill that gap with dedicated conversion solutions for both standards.
What makes the SOLO kits stand out?
- Engineered for reliability: Designed and machined in Colorado for durability and precision.
- Easy installation: Streamlined setup to simplify your drivetrain.
- Replaceable cogs: Compatible with a range of chains to keep you rolling.
- Great value: Long-term performance at a competitive price.
Riders and reviewers have put these kits through countless miles this year, and we’re grateful for the feedback.
Thanks to the team at Bikepacking.com and to the cycling community for recognizing our work and sharing our passion for simpler, better rides.
