Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Anybody used Wheelbuilder?

Seems to come up a lot on google when I search for custom wheels, and apparently the phrase is too long to search for on this forum so I've gotta ask, has anybody got anything good or bad to say about them?

Looking for an affordable powertap wheelset.

I've heard nothing but good things about his work from elite racers. I had a few questions and he was very responsive and easy to talk to.

Yeah, thats them. Didn't want to post the URL because it'll end with 15 posts saying "shill".

Thanks for the info so far.

They built my 2009 PowerTap wheelset. Great pre-order service deciding on materials and support afterwards when I had a ? about spoke tension.
