Post wheelsets YOU built!
 
Hey I would like to see some pictures of wheels or wheelsets YOU built for your fixed or single speed bike. If you had them built custom by a local builder that's cool also as long as you can list specs and give the builders name or shop name. Include a description of parts used and if you happen to know the weight that would be nice also.

Showoff.

I hate seeing that Raleigh. It reminds me that my life sucks.

I never took any photos of all those damn NuVinci hubs I laced.

These I currently ride on or still own.

Not really bike porn but these wheels put up with my abuse. Lord knows I have killed a few of them.

Just an income challenged beginner a few years into cycling. Who knows if I can build a wheel!?! Used Sun CR18's, the cheapest, stamped FG hub, original front hub and *bay spokes. S.O.B.!!! It worked, and is still true two years later!!
