  • Which of these identical 24h hubs will give the best #valveholevision? Manufacturers don’t register logo position with the flange drilling so the best result may be a few degrees from perfect. #handbuiltwheels #bicycle #wheelbuilding #hopetech

  • Spoke rulers: I have a few. They’re mostly the same but some stand out. You’ll have to see my blog for words. Better than words I have an extra Pi ruler (second from the left) to give away, shipping included! To enter leave a comment including the 🇨🇦 emoji. Small print: giveaway open to followers with a Canadian shipping address — sorry international shipping outstrips the value of the ruler. I’ll randomly select the winner Friday afternoon. . . . . #handbuiltwheels #bicycle #wheelbuilding #sapim #pispokes #philwood #cyclus #parktool #var #dtswiss #unior #filzer

Replacement hub shell didn’t include bearings so this customer is getting a Phil Wood bearing upgrade. Not a bad idea for a snow bike anyway. . . . . #handbuiltwheels #bicycle #wheelbuilding #industrynine #fatbike #dtswiss #dtswissbr710 #sapim #sapimrace #parktool #wheelfanatyk
