Custom Wheel Building

Why Go Custom?                

Whether you're in the market for building your dream bike, bomb proof commuter wheelset, or looking to refresh the appearance and feel of your current ride, custom wheels offer an exceptional solution providing unmatched benefits over almost any off the shelf wheel.

Opting for a custom-built wheelset leads to the creation of a far more dependable product. Far easier to maintain and less likely to have issues when compared to pre-built wheels that use proprietary components which are usually challenging to procure as spares.

With a plethora of premium hand picked brands and customizable options available, it's best to get in touch with us to ensure the perfect wheel selection for your bike and riding style. Contact us or visit us to get the wheels in motion...

Meet your Wheelbuilder

My name is Michael, I have been building wheels since 2008 for the worlds oldest bike shop. I Joined MDV in July 2023 and there's nothing better than spending my afternoon building a fresh set of wheels.

I build wheels the traditional way with nothing but my spoke key, a dishing stick and a wheel jig. All custom wheels purchased are assembled by myself, completely by hand. Everything is done with feel and experience, all gently wound by hand, nothing rushed.

I have always built wheels for my own bikes and am very confident in the strength of every set I build. As such you can expect our spoke guarantee with every new set.
