Custom Wheel Building Sydney
Custom Wheel Building, Sydney
Hand-built road, gravel, MTB, touring, cargo & Rohloff wheels.
No factory averages. Every wheel is laced, tensioned and stress-relieved by hand, built around your weight, terrain and riding style. Racing crits, riding gravel, hauling cargo or heading off-grid on a Rohloff tourer — we build wheels that hold up.

Why A Custom-Built Wheel
A factory wheel is built to a generic spec, for a generic rider, at a generic price. A hand-built wheel is built around you — your weight, your terrain, your riding style and the way you actually use your bike.
Built Around You
Rim, hub and spoke count chosen to match your weight, terrain and riding style — not an average rider.
Stronger & More Reliable
Hand tensioning and stress-relieving means fewer broken spokes and less need for truing down the track.
Easier To Service
We build with widely available components, so repairs and replacement parts are simple wherever you are.
Better Ride Quality
A properly built wheel improves handling, comfort and power transfer — you'll feel the difference.
Wheels For Every Discipline
Whatever you ride, we build the wheel to suit it — not the other way around.
Road
Climbing, endurance, training and performance builds, dialled in for efficiency, comfort or speed — whichever you're chasing.
Gravel & Adventure
Built for mixed terrain, long days in the saddle and everything gravel throws at you.
Mountain Bike
Cross-country, trail, enduro and e-MTB — strength and weight balanced for how you actually ride.
Touring & Expedition
When you're far from help, reliability matters more than weight savings.
Cargo & E-Bike
Reinforced spoke patterns, higher spoke counts and sealed hubs rated for the extra load and torque.
Rohloff Speedhub
We regularly build and rebuild wheels around Rohloff Speedhub systems — precision work for long-term reliability.
How We Build Your Wheel
Six steps, every time — no machine shortcuts.
Consultation
We talk through your bike, riding style, terrain and budget to land on the right hub, rim and spoke combination.
Component Selection
We source parts to spec, or build using hubs, rims and spokes you already own.
Hand Assembly
Every wheel is laced by hand, spoke by spoke.
Stress Relieving
We work the spokes to relieve build tension, so the wheel won't go out of true on its first few rides.
Final Truing
Lateral and radial truing on the stand until the wheel runs true and tension is even.
Ready To Ride
Final check, then it's ready to collect — or we post it back to you, Australia-wide.
Premium Components
We build with brands we trust, and we're always happy to work with parts you already own.
Customer-supplied parts are always welcome.
