HOW WE BUILD RELIABLE FAST WHEELS

Every wheel is built to rider specifics
intent of use: Crit-racing, Climbing, TT,  Grandfondo,  Gravel or MTB 
Enhanced Rider skills: Sprinter, Climber
After assessment we make a recommendation on  hub type, spokes and nipples
Also spoke tension and type is considered to "tune" the wheel to enhance performance for a given activity

​Advantages of a custom build, selection of well know components:
  • Hubs: Scorpion, DTSwiss, Bitex, Industry Nine, White Industries
  • Spokes: SAPIM, PILLAR, BERD
  • Nipples (alloy, brass)
  • Rims: Scorpion, ENVE, ZIPP, DTSwiss, Kinlin, Velocity 
  • Decal: Custom color and design
  • Create your own custom unique wheel-set 
  • ​Build a custom unique race machine, built to your  needs and wants.
  • ​Handcrafted #RotationalGoodness
​Our custom classic way of wheel building process  goes thru a variety of steps to ensure top quality, reliability and  performance on every build we do. 
  • Spoke pre-tension and rotation
  • A digital tension meter is used along with sound tune, spoke tension release.
  • (We calibrate our tension meter in house)
  • Dishing and fine tune truing with tire installed and inflated to the recommended pressure

​A final road test is performed if necessary before they ship to you to assure quality and consistency.

We use SAPIM nipples made in Belgium
for a good reason

  1. Secure Lock prevents nipple to loosen maintaining wheel tension and integrity
  2. Polyax technology ensures spoke alignment preventing spoke bend at the nipple entrance
  3. No need to use washers that in turn ad weight
