  • The arrival of affordable carbon is the other reason superlightweight alloy wheels are losing marketshare. Like this one in the mail today. . . . . #handbuiltwheels #bicycle #wheelbuilding #lightbicycle #parktool #workbench #morizumi #hopetech #sapim #sapimdlight
  • Customer brought me a NOS Crest rim. Could be the last one of these I'll ever build. Soft spot in my ❤️ for these rims and, unscientifically, it seems people who ride them are all about fun. . . . . #handbuiltwheels #bicycle #wheelbuilding #stansnotubes #stanscrest #sapim #sapimdlight #parktool #wheelfanatyk
  • Boost spacing + asymmetric rims = 💪. Totally would, especially for 1464g. . . . . #handbuiltwheels #bicycle #wheelbuilding #dtswiss #dt240s #lightbicycle #carbonrims #sapim #sapimdlight #parktool #workbench
  • 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
  • Carbon x DT350. . . . . #handbuiltwheels #bicycle #wheelbuilding #lightbicycle #carbonrims #tubeless #dtswiss #dt350 #sapim #sapimdlight #parktool #workbench #carbonforthepeople #wheelfanatyk
  • Tubeless, tubular and hookless carbon on the docket. These were ordered by one customer with delivery to my shop, I turn some wrenches and they land on his doorstep as a finished product. . . . . #handbuiltwheels #bicycle #wheelbuilding #lightbicycle #carbonrims #justinfromchina #internationalcollabo
