Handmade bicycle wheels are the best upgrade you can make. Stronger than machine built, uniquely designed for you. As an independent wheelbuilder I can build all kinds of different configurations to suit a budget, so these prices are a guide. From time to time I get special pricing from suppliers – get in touch!

My favourites
- Hope Hubs. Number one choice for hubs. Why such a strong preference? Strength, reliability, serviceability, price. I’ve personally ridden these for years – for many of those years through the harsh Polish winters and they took it all without complaint. If it should be required, maintenance is easy, and Hope’s customer service is legendary. Virtually future proof, as they can be converted between axle standards without tools. Great choice of colours and drillings and I love the sound they make (check it out)!
- DT Swiss alloy rims. My preferred alloy rims – beautifully made, at every price point.
- Sapim CX Ray Spokes. Incredibly strong, and the bladed design makes it easy to build up while avoiding spoke twist. There may be some aero benefits – for me the main thing is they are the strongest, lightest spokes.
