Purchasing a brand-new set of custom hand-built wheels can be confusing at best, with all the different options and specifications available. So, we have compiled a shortlist of recommended wheel builds to make the whole experience a little more user friendly. These wheelsets have been handpciked to suit a wide cross section of cycling disciplines from rim brake road options to fat bike and mountain bike wheels with a few options in-between. Using components that we thoroughly recommend in house, because of their serviceability,reliability, and generally higher quality, all last together using a blend of DT Swiss Competition and Champion (double butted and plain gauge) spokes. Then tensioned using DT Swiss brass nipples for their durability and anti-corrosive properties, with DT Swiss Prolock brass nipples where we see appropriate for extra security.
