WHEEL SERVICES
-
Wheel True (Basic) - $20
Spoke tension shifts gradually with use, causing subtle rim deflections. Caught early, it’s straightforward. A properly tensioned wheel lasts a long time.
SERVICE INCLUDES:
- Correction of lateral deflections -
Wheel True (Major) - $50
For wheels that need more than a minor adjustment — after a crash, impact, or extended neglect.
Lateral and radial correction, spoke tension balanced, up to three broken spokes replaced.SERVICE INCLUDES:
- Correction of lateral deflections
- Correction of radial deflections
- Balancing of Spoke tension
- Labor to replace up to 3 broken spokes***Parts not included***
-
Wheel Build (Standard) - $125
Hand-built wheels perform better and last longer than factory-laced alternatives. Full control over tension and alignment from the first spoke.
Covers radial, 2x, 3x, and 4x lacing patternSERVICE INCLUDES:
- Disassembly of existing wheel (if needed)
- Calculation of correct spoke length.
- Lacing of hubs & spokes to the rim.

Wheel Build (Non-Traditional) - $100 / hr
Mixed, crows foot, twisted, Fulcrum and Specialized designs, and wooden rims. Non-traditional patterns have real tradeoffs — higher hub stress, more complex builds, different failure characteristics. We’ll talk through whether the pattern makes sense for your use case. Billed at the shop hourly rate.

Why Wheel Maintenance Matters
Wheels carry everything — your weight, your power, every bump and corner. Proper tension and alignment affect how the bike rolls, corners, and brakes. Regular maintenance extends the life of the rim, spokes, and hub, and prevents the kind of gradual deterioration that turns a minor fix into a wheel replacement.
