Optimised wheel builds
Whether its a durable set-up for a world worthy touring bike or a set of deep section aero wheels for road racing, a custom wheelset gives us the ability to optimise particular elements of the art of wheel building to meet your ride requirements.
Wheel builds are not just about achieving the lightest wheelset possible. We will always discuss and consult with our customers — taking your individual requirements into consideration before building a wheelset.
Trained and qualified wheel builders
All of our wheel builders are Cytech and DT Swiss trained and qualified.
We pride ourselves on the quality of our wheel builds and every new wheelset undergoes rigorous testing to ensure they are reliable, true and safe.
