The service package even includes a lifetime crash replacement policy, which gives you a 40 per cent discount on a replacement wheelset in the event of damage. The wheels are relatively heavy but sturdily built and therefore also suitable for heavy riders. The manufacturer recommends 30 to 32 millimetre wide tyres for optimum riding comfort on the road and 40 millimetres for gravel tours. Leeze has its own service centre in Münsterland, which offers services such as truing, bearing changes and complete inspections.
