Hand-Built Custom Wheels


OVERVIEW

One of man's greatest inventions. Wheelbuilding is an art and science. Custom wheels don't have to be expensive but need to be speced for an individual's riding style, weight, and expectations. Hand-built new wheels will be brought as close to perfection as possible (trueness, tension, dish, and roundness). Colored rims, dozens of rim styles, enough colored nipples and hubs to make a gumball machine jealous, and numerous spoke types create a boatload of options that will bling a bicycle like no other upgrade!


HIGHLIGHTS

I guarantee the wheels I spec and build from scratch and offer lifetime truing. From scratch means I select all the products based on your needs: lacing pattern, rim selection, hub, nipples, number of holes, and spoke type.


SPECS FOR GUARANTEE

Metal rims from a short list of approved manufacturers
Stainless steel spokes
At least a 1-cross lacing pattern
Brass nipples on high-tension applications
Approved hubs


LIFETIME TRUING

With few exceptions, all wheels I build have a lifetime truing policy. Damage, accidents, misuse, abuse, or wearing out the sidewalls can end the life of any wheel so you are encouraged to avoid such situations as these are not covered. I still consider your wheels "mine" and strive to improve my skills and methods so all issues are important to me.

COST

$75 and up per wheel, $140 and up per set (parts extra)


ELIGIBILITY

Your new/used parts OR your parts and my new parts OR my new parts


NOTES

Stock and used wheels can be trued to like-new conditions, too, depending on their quality
