Day Passes
Get access to the entire quiver of inventory for one flat fee. Buy blocks of race days at increments of 5 and save big- instead of the initial set up day charge, every day is the same low cost. The more days you buy, the cheaper the days become.
Example: You have 2 "A" races this season. One day you need the wheels in your possession for 3 days. The next you need them for a weekend, 3 days. This would normally be $375 in rental fees here, but with blocks you can get them for $275!
Example 2: A road racer has 5 "A" races in a season and multiple races around them where he/she can test the equipment. Buying 30 days for $825 is $27/day to ride $2500 wheels every time. Say the first race is Tour de Gila- get some 202s or HED Scorpios and add a disc in for only $20. 5 days are used up, with 25 days remaining. Next up is Tour of Battenkill in April- get a set of HED Stinger 6s for 2 days. 23 days remaining. Then Fitchburg-Longsjo Classic. Get some DuraAce 7850s for the road and circuit and Echappe Classic for the crit and a disc for the TT while only using 4 days. Then you go to the end of Superweek and use 5 days there. With the remaining 14 days you can spread them out for the local TT series and make some cash back with your winnings. Say you have 8 days left after that. Use them for Tour De 'Toona, Rochester or Green Mountain Stage Race. Wow- 30 race days is a lot and you were able to race professionally maintained wheels for $27/day all season.
Insurance Coverage for the Entire Pass
Echappe is now offering one time payment options for Day Pass purchases to cover you in the event of a crash while on our wheels. This one time payment makes it even easier for you to take advantage of our great service without worrying about the product in your possession. The same as our standard crash insurance, this does not cover you for negligence, loss, theft or intentional damage to our equipment.
Clarify Disc Wheels
If you request only a disc, that is included in your Day Pass for no additional cost. 1 Day = 1 Disc
If you get a disc with a front wheel, then it is $20/day.
Clarify Powertap Wheel Charges
Powertap Wheelset (front and rear): $30/day
Powertap Disc only : $30/day
Powertap Disc and front wheel : $50/day
Powertaps aren't free and these fees allow us to carry these products for rental.
Clarify Shipping
If Echappe has to ship a wheelset to a customer who is using a Day Pass, the customer is responsible for shipping charges. A secondary credit card charge will show within 30 days of your order that will cover the shipping charges. Typical charges are $50 round trip.

Clarify "Weekends" (its Friday-Monday):
Because FedEx does not provide a complimentary Saturday service and no Sunday Services are available, "weekends" are considered Friday through Monday. This is a 3 day rental because Friday and Monday are half days. Saturday and Sunday are full days.

FAQ:
How long are my Passes good for?
One year from the date of your purchase.
How do I place a reservation since the shopping cart is set up for standard orders?
Call at 347-404-5315 or click the "Request for Day Pass" ath the top of every page and we can get you rolling. Please give us 2 weeks for your order so we can schedule it properly. We are still a first come first serve basis, and this block does not gaurantee you wheels should someone reserve the available inventory before you.
What wheels am I limited to?
None. This block is open to all brands, types and stages of pricing. Disc wheels are an additional $20/day when paired with a front wheel. Powertaps are $30/day.
Why wouldn't I jut buy wheels on eBay for $825 and use them for the season instead of buying 30 days here?
Everyone who asks this seems to forget that our wheels are professionally maintained, race ready and always reliable. Furthermore, there is not one set of wheels that is perfect for all conditions. Sometimes shallow wheels are better. Sometimes deep wheels are better. With Echappe, you always have the right wheels.
I can afford to buy these, so why shouldn't I?
As the guys at Colorado Premier Training will tell you, there is not one perfect wheel for all conditions. Get the right wheel for the race. Period.
Is Crash Insurance Included?
If you purchase the Day Passes with the Crash Insurance, then yes. If you do not, then you have to buy a coverage plan every time you use some days in order to be covered. More info about the crash insurance is here.
Does this cover disc wheels?
Single discs are covered. Disc wheels when mated with a front wheelare an additional $20/day, regardless of how many pre-bought days you purchased or how many days you are using at once.
Does this cover Powertap wheels?
Powertap Wheels are an additional charge for Day Passes.
Powertap Wheelset (front and rear): $30/day
Powertap Disc only : $30/day
Powertap Disc and front wheel : $50/day
Powertaps aren't free and these fees allow us to carry these products for rental.
If I do not use all my days, can I get cash back?
No, sorry. This is not an exchange for cash program.
Can I add days?
Yes. You can add days one at a time should you run out. The standard addtional day rates apply (see pricing structure below).
