Shipping and returns
Shipping and returns
Shipping and order processing times may fluctuate depending on order demand and the global shipping environment. Revel will notify the customer of our best estimated shipping lead time, however, these times are subject to change due to part availability and supply chain constraints. Complete bikes are fully assembled, test ridden, and then disassembled before they are carefully packed into our shipping cartons.
This process requires great attention to detail to ensure the best ride quality of our bikes right out of the box and we appreciate your patience with build timeframes.

FAQ
REVEL MAKES TITANIUM BIKES?!
We do now! Well, in a way, we always have… our sister company, Why Cycles, has been manufacturing the most advanced titanium bikes in the world since 2016. We're retiring the Why Cycles brand, so now you can find the most advanced carbon and titanium bikes on the market under one name - Revel Bikes.
WHERE ARE REVEL TI BIKES MADE?
Revel titanium frames are lovingly hand-built in the same family-owned and operated factory in northern China used by Why Cycles for a half-decade. All Revel bikes are then assembled and shipped from our facility in Carbondale, CO.
UDH COMPATIBLE? WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?
We've updated all Revel Ti bikes with SRAM UDH (Universal Derailleur Hanger), so replacement hangers are easier to find and your bike's drivetrain is more future-proof against manufacturer updates down the line.
CAN I RUN A ROHLOFF INTERNAL HUB ON MY BIG IRON?
Yes! Check with Rohloff for specifications.
CAN I RUN A BELT DRIVE ON THE WAYWARD?
Yes! Check with the belt drive manufacturer for specifications.
WHAT WHEEL SIZE CAN I RUN ON THE BIG IRON?
Max Clearance: 27.5 x 4.5″, 26 x 5.0″, or 29 x 3.0″ tires.
WHAT IS THE TORQUE FOR THE TI SLIDING DROPOUT BOLTS?
15-18Nm for the dropout bolts, 3-4Nm for the tensioner bolt.
WHAT IS THE SPECIFICATION OF THE LONGITUDINAL TENSIONER BOLT?
M5 x 0.8 x 35mm Stainless steel cap screw.
WHAT OFFSET CHAINRING DO I NEED TO RUN TRANSMISSION ON THE BIG IRON
For a 76.5mm chainline using 197 rear spacing, use a -4mm offset chainring.
WHAT'S THE BEST FRAME BAG FOR MY BIG IRON?
We love the bags we've seen and used from companies like Rogue Panda, Oveja Negra and Good Busy Gear.
WHAT IS THE BEST WAY TO POLISH MY TITANIUM FRAME?
We recommend using some rubbing alcohol and a Scotch Brite pad and scrubbing gently in a "shoe-shine" motion (one direction or back and forth, not circular), then wiping down and finishing with a light coat of furniture polish like Pledge. This should work for both oxidation and light scratches. The graphics are sand-blasted into the frame, so you won't hurt them if you use a soft touch.
IS MY WHY CYCLES BIKE STILL COVERED UNDER WARRANTY?
Absolutely! All Why Cycles and Revel Bikes frames come with lifetime warranties and a generous crash replacement program for the original purchaser. If anything does happen and you need a replacement frame, it will most likely be replaced with a Revel branded titanium frame, but we’ll get you back to riding ASAP!
