"You may be aware that our rim partner, CSS Composites, has recently gone out of business. CSS developed the FusionFiber rims we built into our own brand of road, gravel, and mountain bike wheels. FusionFiber was a technology we were excited about and a company who shared our ideals for sustainable manufacturing. We are heartbroken for the people who lost their jobs and the vision that won't now be realized."
"We never like seeing a US manufacturer closing their doors. Unfortunately, we received no advance notice of CSS's struggles or subsequent closure. The most important thing for our riders to know is that there is nothing wrong with the wheels they're riding, quite the opposite. We expect every wheel we've built to give its rider years and years of riding."
CSS Composites, the maker of FusionFiber rims, has gone out of business, leaving FusionFiber rim supply unavailable. Chris King built FusionFiber rims into its road, gravel, and mountain wheels and states the wheels themselves are sound and expected to last many years. Chris King will continue to honor lifetime warranties for original owners. NOBL Wheels will manage rim replacement for any Chris King FusionFiber wheel requiring warranty service. King-branded FusionFiber rim models (ARD44, GRD23, MTN30) are discontinued for the foreseeable future. CSS closure occurred without advance notice to Chris King.
