Posted by FLO Cycling at Tuesday, August 26, 2014 Labels: ,

Order 15 - All of the Details!

It's official! Order 15 will begin Thursday, September 4 at 10:00 a.m. PDT.  We will be selling FLO 30s, 60s, 90s, DISCS, and FLO 30 rims. 

Every wheel purchased within the first hour will receive a FREE Silca Valve Extender (FLO 60's and 90's) or a free continental tube (FLO 30s and DISCS). Please read the details below for "General Information" and FAQ about Order 15.  We can't thank you enough for your support and patience.   

General Information
  • Order 15 begins September 4, 2014 at 10:00 a.m. PDT.  Access the store here. You will need a store account to check out. We recommend creating your account here before the order starts to save time.
  • On September 4, 2014 the "Store" page will feature a countdown timer. When it hits 00:00:00:00, refresh your page to begin shopping.
  • 500 wheels will be available during Order 15.  
  • We will have FLO 30s, 60s, 90s, DISCS, and FLO 30 rims.  
  • Wheels are estimated to ship by September 15.  
  • There are currently 737 people signed up for Order 15.    
  • All sales are on a first-come-first-served basis. We are working hard to eventually have stock. For more information, please read this blog article.
  • Orders tend to sell out quickly. All 2014 Orders have sold out in less than one hour and popular wheels can go in under five minutes. We suggest being online at 9:55 a.m. PDT if you are interested in buying wheels. Please know there is no pressure to buy, we just want to be honest.
  • Order 16 is scheduled to take place in mid-October 2014 and is estimated to have approximately 700 wheels.
  • You are not guaranteed a wheel when adding it to the cart. You must check out to confirm your order.  
  • International shipping rates to some countries are quoted very high in our shopping cart. This is because a bug exists in the USPS.com API. We are not able to change this. We recommend checking out and we will issue a refund after we process the order. Shipping rates never exceed $115 for two wheels though you may see rates as high as $700. Import tax/duty/VAT is the responsibility of the buyer.  We are sorry for the trouble. If we could fix it, we would.
Questions About Order 15

Q1.  How and where do I place my order?

A1.  The store opens at 10:00 a.m. PDT. On the morning of the order, the store page will have a countdown timer on it. When the countdown timer hits 00:00:00:00, refresh your page to access the store and begin shopping!

Note*  You will need to create an account to shop in our online store. We highly recommend creating an account before next Thursday to save time during Order 15. You can create your account here.  

Q2.  Do we have live up-to-date inventory on our site?

A2.  That’s sort of a yes and no question. When you select the product you will see how many are available under the “Bearings or Bearing/Build” pulldown menus (The “Sticker Color” pulldown does not show how many wheels are in stock.). If there is one left and you add it to your cart, it does not mean you have secured the wheel. You must make it all the way through the cart before the wheel is yours. If someone else has bought the wheel in that amount of time, you will receive an out of stock warning when you hit the confirm order button.

Q3.  My page is really slow. What should I do? (We hope this doesn’t happen!)

A3.  We have done all we can to beef up the server to prevent crashing. That said, there are no guarantees. When you click to add a wheel to your cart it may take a second or two to load. Please do NOT hit the "Add to Cart" button multiple times. If you do, you will add more then one wheel to your shopping cart. If there are any technical difficulties during the sale, please be patient, we will be working to correct them as soon as humanly possible. If your page is slow after hitting “confirm order,” PLEASE DO NOT HIT REFRESH or your card may be charged twice. If you do hit refresh by mistake and are double charged, please let us know and we will be sure to refund your second order.

Q4.  Can you tell me about the Silca Valve Extenders and Continental Tubes?

A4.  A FREE Silca Valve extender will be given for each FLO 60 and 90 and a free tube will be given for each FLO 30 and FLO DISC. Please see the pictures below. 




Q5.  When will the wheels ship to me?

A5.  Wheels are estimated to ship by September 15.

Q6.  How much are ceramic bearings?

A6.  Ceramic wheels are an additional $100 per wheel. Ceramic bearings support our Bike for a Kid Program and have excellent durability. Learn more about our Bike for a Kid Program.

Q7.  Do you offer Shimano 11 speed hub bodies?

A7.  All of our wheels ship with 9/10/11 speed compatible hub bodies. The wheels also ship with 10 speed spacers for people running 9 or 10 speed cassettes.

Q8.  What payment methods do you accept?

A8.  We accept Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover. We do not accept PayPal.

We hope that this answers your questions about the upcoming pre-order. If we have left anything out, please let us know.

Thanks again for your patience and support.

Take care,


Jon and Chris
