product reviews

We scored 9/10 and they were rated 4.5/5 stars
“When you first roll out on these wheels they’re nicely silent. That’s good: a lack of pinging and popping is a sign of competent wheelbuilding that doesn’t leave the spokes twisted.”

about your wheels
custom built wheels
This wheelset is built to order. We hold most parts in stock and build them after you have ordered. The build time is advertised on the front page on under the title.
what’s included
- Wheels are set-up with the axles and freehub you have selected.
- All wheels have tubeless tape applied.
- There are no additional parts provided.
build quality
During the building process all components are bedded in, stretched, and tensioned repeatedly so the wheels won’t go out of true. We inspect, check and finish every wheel with equal care.
handbuilt in the UK
We built the wheels in our York, UK workshop.
