     We pride ourselves on the quality of the wheels that we build.  Every wheel built is given the same care and attention whether it be a lightweight race wheel or bombroof Über-commuter. Whether it's road, mountain, or touring, we can hand build wheels to the highest standard.

     We can take you through the process of choosing the best setup is to suit your specific needs. Every wheel has different requirements which can depend on the rider, the style of use, intended tyres, frame and brake specifications, and also budget. By talking with our wheel builders you can discuss the options for component choices and also different build configurations to create the right setup to suit your needs. With our help you can determine what setup is the best to allow for a long lasting wheel that performs as you need it.

     All wheels that we build are hand laced, hand built and are then de-stressed and re-tensioned before their final true. This considerably reduces the possibility of spokes loosening from initial riding forces and also makes sure that a true balance of spoke tension is created to make the lifespan of your wheels as great as possible.

     Having a custom wheel build is not necessarily more expensive than buying a pre-built wheel yet it gives you far more control over what a wheel provides for you in terms of performance, durability and ride quality.

     We build all of our wheels using DT Swiss precision spokes however we can also prepare wheels with Sapim, Wheelsmith and other spokes should the need arise.
