My customer Marty wanted a wheel upgrade for his Trek Checkpoint: he wanted to stick with alloy rims and a high quality, competitively priced hub set. We decided on Astral Wanderlust 700c 28 hole rims laced onto Bitex BX106 centerlock hubs using Wheelsmith double butted spokes and brass nipples. #astralcycling #wanderlustrims #bitexhubs #wheelsmithspokes #handbiiltwheels #gravelbike (at Buellton, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CEooYl5lnUV/?igshid=1kk8ojisf0d1c

My customer Frank wanted a wheel set for his Santa Cruz Stigmata: we decided on Matte Bourbon R45 centerlock hubs laced to Nox Citico carbon rims using Wheelsmith double butted spokes. Turned out real elegant! Maybe it’s just me but Matte Bourbon sounds like the perfect name for a fictional New Orleans private eye......... #chrisking #noxcomposites #wheelsmithspokes (at Buellton, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CEhGx0fFZqr/?igshid=j6bvvqa874ta

My customer Barry just sent pictures of his Giant Anthem wearing it’s new wheelset. We decided on Bitex BX211 boost hubs in blue with Nox Composites Skyline carbon rims, all held together with Wheelsmith butted spokes. Barry is happy, so I’m happy. #giantanthem #noxcomposites #bitexhubs #wheelsmithspokes #handbuiltwheels (at Dublin, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CEHGb78FXel/?igshid=3dgmcnkyjj0c

Do you have a fondness for the classic, timeless look of a shiny wheelset? My New York customer Jon does! We decided on silver polish Velocity Quill tubeless ready rims laced onto Bitex hubs (note the Anti-Bite strips on the freehub body) using Wheelsmith stainless butted spokes. I needed to wear sunglasses to do this build. #velocityrims #tubelessready #bitexhubs #wheelsmithspokes #newyork #shinyshiny #handbuiltwheels (at Buellton, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CD_cmaWFhw5/?igshid=1nysa32nopptp

I built a wheelset for my customer Nick for his relocation to Toronto. This was a high value setup: Bitex BX106 centerlock hubs on my Signature 38 carbon disc rims, lashed together with Wheelsmith butted spokes. We installed Sram’s current Centerline discs for stopping power and good looks. #enjoyyourtrip #toronto #handbuiltwheels #bitexhubs #wheelsmithspokes (at Toronto, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_mwVlClyaE/?igshid=1v1dj349akwqq

Just sent this wheelset to my Missouri customer Ken. He has a Moots from about ten years back that he wanted to refresh. We decided on DT Swiss 240 hubs laced onto Nox Composites Skyline 27.5 rims using Wheelsmith butted spokes. Icing on the cake was Rene Herse Juniper Ridge tubeless tires with Orange Seal tubeless valves. There’s life in Ken’s old Moots yet! #dtswiss #noxcomposites #wheelsmithspokes #moots #orangeseal #handbuiltwheels #missouri (at Jones Precision Wheels) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_h8cTiFbgq/?igshid=5lnuhblie9tq

In chaotic times, it’s nice to have a simple uncluttered bicycle to ride. It reminds me that choosing simplicity is the greatest luxury. Aaron Stinner recently built this beautiful machine for a lady customer; I supplied a wheelset constructed with Astral Cycling Solstice disc brake rims on White Industries CLD hubs. I lashed them together with Wheelsmith spokes to make an all-American build. The rims are only 404 grams each, so this little gem will ride like it has wings. #stinnerframeworks #whiteindustries #astralcycling #discbrakewheels #wheelsmithspokes #handbuiltwheels (at Jones Precision Wheels) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_DBtVql7yd/?igshid=1ar0df5kd2q8u

Silver spokes, gold nips, silver King R45 hubs and carbon rims: the perfect color palette for former Pro Road Race winner Kurt Stockton. 38mm deep carbon rims were laced onto R45 hubs using Wheelsmith double butted stainless spokes; talk about shiny. #usprochampion #chriskinghubs #carbonrims #wheelsmithspokes #handbuiltwheels (at Jones Precision Wheels) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-fHykDlAW_/?igshid=jawhq9q390hc
