“Magic Wheels” Services, Repairs, and Customised Wheelbuilds
After the total dominance of events in the “pringle” at the London Olympics the boss of Team GB, Dave Brailsford was asked by a L’Equipe reporter “to what exactly he attributed his teams phenomenal success?”. Dave quipped “we pay special attention to how round the wheels are…” The next day France’s national sports paper featured an expose on the secret equipment Team GB was using with the Head of the French National Track squad demanding an investigation into Britains “Magic Wheels”
Customised Wheelbuilding
Handbuilt wheels, remain the best for British roads. Some of our customers, when asked about our wheels, have even been known to say “Eeeeee, them wheels are Magic!” We can build anything, from some tough double walled clunkers for your daily commute to carbon aero specials and even some painfully trendy early 90’s revivalist dayglow numbers to pimp your ride!
Whatever we go with, we work with you, your personal riding style and needs to build your wheels around you, the perfect combination rather than just one brand of hubs and rims.
Prices for a pair of complete handbuilt wheels start at £135. Our prices include a phone consultation, the wheel build it’s self and delivery within the pink area on this map including fitting them to your bike and adjusting your gear system if required after fitting !
