Custom wheel building

Description

Wheel building is slowly, but surely becoming a dying art. Despite the decreasing amount of options, we are still able to cater for clients that are looking for professionally hand-built wheels based on their own preferences and specifications.

We can build custom wheels from parts that you choose and bring in, or we can supply the parts needed ourselves.

The wheel building process consists of the following steps:

– creating a part list and listing/sourcing all the items needed for the project, including the inspection of an existing part list provided on by the customer
– assistance and consultation in terms of the compatibility and availability of parts
– rim dimensioning
– spoke length calculation and component specification
– rim and spoke preparation
– lacing
– radial and lateral truing
– spoke tension distribution
– de-stressing
– dishing
– final truing and tensioning
– rim tape and tire installation (if requested)

Wheel builds that are entirely sourced by us and purchased from us are exempt from this charge, and all points of this package are provided free of charge!

The typical wait time is 2 weeks from the date of reservation to the beginning of the build procedure. The typical time to the finish of the service is 5-7 business days, provided that there are no complications/missing items.

The price includes LABOUR COSTS ONLY.

It does not cover the price of parts needed for the build.
