Service

Wheel building

Hand-laced, re-spoked and trued on precision jigs, for classics and moderns.

Wheel building

Restoring a classic, rebuilding a wheel after damage, or upgrading spokes and rims: wheels are built here by hand, and trued to factory tolerance.

Full wheel rebuilds

Wheels are stripped to the hub, inspected, worn parts replaced, then re-laced with stainless or zinc spokes to your specification.

Truing

Precision jigs and digital measurement, so the wheel runs straight and the bike handles as it should.

Hub and rim refurbishment

Hubs cleaned, painted and refinished, bearings replaced, original parts saved wherever they can be.

Custom finishes

Powder-coated, polished or anodised, with colour-matched rims and stainless hardware.

How a wheel is built here

  1. Assessment. Hub, spokes and rim inspected for wear and damage.
  2. Preparation. Parts cleaned, prepped and refinished where needed.
  3. Lacing. Laced by hand to the right pattern, cross-2, cross-3 and so on.
  4. Truing. Trued and balanced on precision equipment.
  5. Fitment. Final checks, then refitted or returned to you.
