Welcome To Big Wheels

If you’ve found your way here you’re looking for a high end handbuilt wheelset for your 29” bike.
That’s my specialty.

I build 29” wheels, one at a time, by hand, out of my shop in Western Colorado. I’ve been building wheels for 11 years, and specializing in 29” wheels since 1999. I've built over 4000 29"-specific wheels in the last 7 years, and have ridden 65,000+ off-road miles on 29" bikes (all on wheels that I’ve built) in that same time frame--odds are I've got experience with the rim/spoke/hub combo you're considering, and can steer you in the right direction if you aren't sure.

Choosing the right components is critical, and once that’s done I can concentrate on proper lubrication, appropriate lacing, precision truing, de-stressing, and balancing the tension. A few days later your wheels will arrive at your door, professionally packed and insured for their full value against damage in transit.

If you know exactly what you want I’m happy to build it exactly as you specify.
Conversely, if you have no idea what you want I’m happy to guide you through the process to get the right wheelset for you.


Confused? Relax. You’re in good hands—building wheels is what I do.
