Just announced our team is now sponsored by Williams Wheels. Finally rid of our previous, do nothing wheel sponsor. Now I will order a new set of wheels.

mazdatech10

whats your team?. our team was looking at williams for team wheels hope they can do it, we are also looking 9G wheels also. are you racing at cantua creek or snelling?

BigSean

Los Gatos which is now racing as Sugar CRM-Los Gatos.

Not planning on it right now, but I never know. Sometimes my coach tells me to go do a race that I would not normally do(road races). Ill have to look those up. I do mostly crits and circuit races.

BigSean

Actually the first one on the 14th looks like it could be a good training race for me. I am supposed to do Cherry Pie the week before so Ill have to see what the coach says.

snelling is about sold out, maybe you at morgan hill crit as i do this one,

bayareawheeler

thats an awesome sponsor! Weve got Ritchey although i havent ponied up for a pair yet. Williams saved a few of my races last season and there wheel support was a stupendous

mazdatech10

I race for don chapin , monterey bay racing

BigSean

I race masters too, so there are plenty of spots still for me in both. He has not mentioned either though so I doubt it. Morgan Hill Memorial is one of my A races. I love the course there. I will be doing 2 races there.

"sponsor" = what % discount? any freebies? any actual cash donations?

Glad to here the Sugar CRM/LG team got hooked up with Williams. good NorCal combo! I'll miss seeing the Sugar CRM boys at the local crits and at Hellyer. Good group of guys.

Im gonna miss NorCal.

BigSean

Yes there is a discount, not sure I am at liberty to give that info out. Im not sure on freebies, if there is it would go to our Elite men and/or women. Im not one of them. Our womens team is on the podium in just about every race they enter, they are also sponsored by Blue bikes now.

BigSean

Yeah its a good group of people. 2 years I been with the team and still have not met about half of them. I do know most of the racers, minus a couple of the track only guys.

jmechy

woah, thanks for pointing that out. I reg'd 93rd of 100 spots.

mazdatech10

freebies what freebies , discounts yes,

I do and I don't. I miss some of the truly epic and beautiful races. I miss some of my peeps. But I've got a great bunch of teammates, a 'drome 15 minutes from my door, 70 degree winter days, and a new list of tactics. I learned a lot this year.

They got to you. It's too late. RX is dead to us now

bostongarden

Maybe RX has the prescription for us all? (Sorry if this reference has been made before.)

Most team deals are wholesale +- 10-20%. I've been working hard to get sponsors for my team and seems that most companies will give you the direct wholesale deal. It doesn't cost them any money and gets their product out there. Its sucks for me because since I work at a shop, I already get everything cheap. But I guess its not about me, its for my fellow teammates.

If ya ain't getting them for free, I don't think the word sponsor flies. How about supported by Williams? Just saying.

Not quite. Call me if I hit 165 though.

BigSean

I dont know how big your team is. But ours is right around 180. If they gave all of us free wheels, how long you suppose they would be in business? As I said, there may be freebies for the Elite mens and womens squad, but Im not one of those.

I just got a set of Williams 19s yesterday. Haven't monted them yet but so far I'm impressed with their customer service. Time from order to delivery was sub 48 hours.

some sponsors give us stuff for less than wholesale which is amazing already considering the size of the team i'm with.

Welcome to the Williams Wheels family. The only freebie I've ever gotten was a t-shirt. Maybe Kieth will swing by one of our meetings and I can bum another t-shirt or water bottle.
