My job
is to take all of your needs and
wants (in many cases, carefully distinguishing between the two)
and match them to the right rims,
hubs, spokes, and lacing pattern
to get you the most durable and lively wheelset that I can. Experience
plays a huge part in this—every rim has distinctive qualities that go way beyond the spoke count or joining
method. Like produce at your local market, some rims are soft
and some are firm. Some well-advertised and well-hyped rims aren’t worth the price of admission, while others are worth every penny. Likewise
with spokes, nipples, and hubs, as well as lacing patterns and
all of the other choices you’re faced with when buying wheels. There’s a lot more going on than meets the eye.
I build with DT Swiss spokes and nipples exclusively.
Hubs and rims are available from these precision manufacturers:
