Built by Us, Serviced by Us
IronDeer wheels, including the G50 SL, come with a three-year warranty from the date of delivery. It covers manufacturing and material defects in the rim, hub, spokes and nipples.
We build and service the wheels ourselves, so a claim does not travel anywhere. You bring or ship the wheel to our workshop in Nazaré, we inspect it, and we fix or replace what is covered. No factory abroad and no dealer in between.
We are just as clear about what the warranty does not cover. Carbon wheels on gravel take hits, and damage from riding is not a defect. For that there is a crash replacement price on rims and a service centre with transparent prices, both explained below.
At a Glance
What owning an IronDeer wheelset looks like after the purchase.
From delivery, on manufacturing and material defects.
A replacement G50 SL rim for €140 instead of €200 after a crash, for the original owner within three years. Rebuild labour is charged at service centre prices.
Fitting them is free in the first year, whatever broke the spoke.
What Is Covered, What Is Not
The warranty covers faults in how the wheel was made. It does not cover what happens to the wheel on the road or trail.

Crash Replacement on Rims
If a rim is damaged in a crash or an impact within three years of purchase, the original owner can buy a replacement IronDeer rim at 30% off its listed price. For the G50 SL that means €140 instead of €200. This covers what the warranty does not: a pothole you did not see, a rock on a fast descent, a race incident.
We inspect the wheel, document the damage with photos and confirm whether the rim can still be ridden safely. If it cannot, the new rim is built into your wheel in our workshop. Rebuild labour, and any spokes and nipples needed, are charged at our service centre prices and quoted before any work starts. The rim price that applies is the one listed in our shop on the day of your claim.

How to Make a Claim
Warranty claims, crash assessments and service jobs all go through our workshop in Nazaré.
Your Legal Rights
This warranty is given in addition to your rights as a consumer, not instead of them. Under Portuguese consumer law (Decreto-Lei 84/2021), the seller is responsible for any lack of conformity that appears within three years of delivery. Nothing on this page limits those rights.
If you bought IronDeer wheels from another shop, contact that shop first. We will support them with the technical assessment.
