Why Custom Hand-Built?

1. You can custom design the hub, rim, and spoke combination specifically for you and your riding style, and we can help if you'd like. Plus you can choose from the many color options to make it unique and perfect for your bike.

2. Quality rims are made from the toughest materials, and newest technologies, so you can trust them to tackle your most epic adventures and races, year after year. They are backed with generous warranties with many offering crash replacement warranty options so you are in good hands no matter how far you send it!

3. Quality rims and lighter spokes can significantly reduce rotating weight, which is twice as noticeable as upgrading to non-rotating parts such as a forks, handlebars, or seatposts. The ride feel is so lively and nimble, compared to most stock wheels.

4. Lightweight wheels can reduce overall weight anywhere from 1 - 3 lbs, and even more on a fat set, so those hills will be much more manageable.

5. Quality hubs have extra smooth, very well sealed and protected bearings that roll forever. They are also backed with generous warranties.

6. Quality hubs transfer power to the ground extremely quick with freehub engagement that is significantly faster than basic hubs. This is especially nice when crank ratcheting through tight twisty areas, as well as the normal stop and go pedaling while mountain biking.

7. Because they are durable, gorgeous, and an absolute blast to ride!

Spoke Nipple Info

Sapim Polyax Brass - Silver or Black

• Sapim Polyax brass spoke nipples are extremely durable and will withstand water, salt, and mud, and they remain easy to turn, for trueing, after years and years of service.

Sapim Polyax Alloy - Black, Red, Blue, Purple, Orange, Turquoise, Silver, Gold, Lime

• Alloy spoke nipples are nearly 70% lighter than brass spoke nipples, and they last about 4-6 years under regular hard use, before they begin to break. If you don't keep your stuff long, or don't mind replacing the nipples eventually, they are great way to save a bit of weight and add some color. If you are a more casual rider, or don't ride regularly, they will last much longer.
• We use the best alloy spoke nipples available - Sapim Polyax 7075-T6, heat treated for extra strength with a special coating for corrosion resistance and low friction at the spoke interface.
