  • Last wheel of 2019. I’ll be working through the holidays but it will be workshop cleanup, tool service, inventory and accounting. My site will continue accepting orders but none will ship until the first week of January. The free software utilities on my site will have a little downtime for server upgrades but no changes other than snappier service. 2020 promises more of the same. The electronic truing stand in the picture, my conversion kit for the @parktoolblue TS series, has been manufactured in small quantities. A video update will follow soon explaining my progress and how you can sign up to be a beta tester. #wheelbuilding #handbuiltwheels #bicycle #parktool #wheelfanatyk #sapim #sapimspokes #stansnotubes #stansgrail #salsabikes #rebuild

The rims were a pleasure to build. #handbuiltwheels #bicycle #wheelbuilding #araya #arayasa730 #sapim #sapimforce #chrisking #chriskingwhyonly120kgf #parktool #wheelfanatyk #workbench
  • A challenger appears. When you see these tools do you think knuckles saved? Money made? Toxic masculinity? These tools are made for mounting tight tires (manly!) and are safer than plain levers. I’ve been using the Kool-stop tool on the right for about five years. The Challenge tool, left, is new and looks to be a little more sophisticated. #handbuiltwheels #bicycle #wheelbuilding #koolstop #challengetires
