ABOUT HAND BUILT WHEELS

How much is a set of wheels?

The price for a complete set starts from 450€. Contact me for a detailed estimate.

I have hubs and rims, can you build them?

Yes. You can give me your hubs and rims and I build them up with my spokes. Using my spokes is mandatory in order to provide the best quality possible. If hubs are not in good condition, I will service them before the build. I won’t do the job if the components are not in the best condition.

Do you offer WARRANTY?

Yes I do. There are 2 kinds of warranty: components warranty and build warranty.

-Component warranty is the warranty from the manufacturer, it covers defects of the single component. Usually 1 to 5 years, depending on the brand.

-Build warranty covers issues associated to the quality of the build, doesn’t cover normal wear and corrosion damage. I offer free truing and spoke replacement up to 2 years from the date of purchase.

If crash replacement is not offered by the manufacturer, I offer up to 30% discount on the components to build after a crash.

I don’t offer any warranty on components supplied by the customer.

Do you ship?

I always prefer to deal in person, but I also ship, no problem.

Do you offer tires?

Yes, I’ve a stock of tires and I’m happy to help you choosing the best ones for you.
Mainly I work with René Herse for all-road/ gravel, Veloflex for pure road, as they are my favourite brands to ride, other kind of tires can be purchased.
