Mike has been building wheels for top racing cyclists and around the world tours for over 23 years. Toby is now a qualified DT Swiss wheel builders, so our high wheel building standards are wholly consitent. No wheel building job, however specialist, is beyond our means or experience.

The cost to build each wheel runs from £35, and spokes generally cost £10-30 per wheel.

 

We also keep a wide range of bearing balls and cartridge bearings in stock, and have specialist cartridge removal tools and presses. We can service your hubs quickly and without the damage to sensitive bearings that can result from incorrect fitting.

 

Wheels can be trued on site. The labour charge depends on how long the repair takes but on most occasions costs from £12 upto £25.

 

Pre-built wheels are becoming ever more popular with riders due to their strength, design and high performance.
