CUSTOM WHEELBUILDINGOf all the services offered here at the shop, I am probably best known for my wheel work. It's not that my wheels are done to a higher standard than any other technical services; but I think more riders are able to identify wheels crafted with care and accuracy from those lacking one or both of those qualities.Despite the mystique surrounding wheelbuilding, there's no voodoo involved. I meticulously follow accepted wheelbuilding practices (without taking shortcuts) and the result is a wheel that is dished perfectly, laterally and concentrically accurate within the practical limits of the rim extrusion, and tensioned to stay that way with less maintenance. Having a lot of experience helps immeasurably. My wheels have been race-campaigned on every major land mass on the planet except (as far as I know) Africa and the two Poles, and been along for several USCF District and National medal-winning rides. I'll pit my overall record of reliability and accuracy with that of any wheelbuilding service anywhere, at any price. |
