Wheelbuilding

We build wheels! Just as the bike frame and fork is tuned to a specific mission, so it is with wheels. We can build wheels to customer requirements. The business owner is Cytech qualified to do this.

Typically I prefer straightforward two or three cross spoke pattern, dependent on the parameters of hub and wheel. The cost of a hand-built wheel is (at the time of writing) quite reasonable because it is something I like doing.

Custom wheels really come into their own with the resurgence of internal gearing and dynohub systems, and increased use of electric motor hubs. All these products need a wheel to be built around them. We will be happy to discuss the best solutions for any job.

All my own custom bikes roll on hand built wheels. Additionally the pictures show other wheels I have built.
All my own work: Two touring rims with dynohubs, one 650B rim with centrelock disc hub.

Deore XT hub with narrow road rim? Yup.
