  • Warranty Wednesday. I work hard on tension balance and don’t mess with freaky lacing patterns so this kind of failure is rare. 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
  • Looking forward to the future truing stand with high frequency laser measurement, leveraging differences in reflectivity to factor out decal thickness automagically. . . . . #youthinkimjokingbut #handbuiltwheels #bicycle #wheelbuilding #wheelluminati #truingstand
  • Jay has good taste. He buys DT rims and DT hubs — but not straight-pull hubs — and has me put them together. Be like Jay. . . . . #handbuiltwheels #bicycle #wheelbuilding #dtswiss #dt350 #dtr470 #sapim #sapimrace #sapimlaser
  • Long weekend wheelbuild. New SON dynamo front hub and a second life for this Shimano 600 rear. Compass / Rene Herse tires available with wheelbuilds. #handbuiltwheels #bicycle #wheelbuilding #sondynamo #rideshimano #pacenti #pacentibrevet #sapim #sapimforce #parktool #compasstires #reneherse #renehersetires
