All terrain wheels

Webmaster

This year I’ve built two sets of Rolhoff wheels using different models of Surly fatbike rims. Coincidentally both wheelsets are headed for epic adventures in Australia: the first set is headed for Tasmania and the second to the Canning Stock Route in Western Australia.

Happy spring!

  • Say what you will about west coast clouds, they cast an even light on the road and that lets you ride (descend especially) faster. #yyjbike
  • RT @bikeasana: Here’s the guy & wife who not only honked at us at a red light, but also threatened to run us over. Way to go bud! #yycbike…
  • The "bike infrastructure" parts of Cedar Hill Rd start and stop variously. Needs continuity now and fixes to suit 8… https://t.co/mv90vHgXHB

  • Today on the bench. Silver spokes on mountain bikes are pretty cool — no matter they're all dirt brown before long. . . . . #handbuiltwheels #bicycle #wheelbuilding #wheelfanatyk #hopetech #hopepro4 #sapim #sapimdlight #sapimrace #stansnotubes #stansarchmk3 #hautewheelbuilding

  • Customer brought me a NOS Crest rim. Could be the last one of these I'll ever build.

  • I don't think you have to be a pro to build carbon (but if you can be a pro, do that). Use a tensiometer and you're good. . . . . #handbuiltwheels #bicycle #wheelbuilding #lightbicycle #tubular #carbonrims #dtswiss #dt350 #sapim #sapimdlight #parktool #wheelfanatyk
