Why build wheels by hand?
For a better hand-built wheel.
Changing your wheels will significantly transform the ride quality of your bicycle, revealing a whole new world to the rider.
For you, having arrived at this page, we hope you choose to ride a "more better" hand-built wheel—one assembled to reflect the intentions of both the rider and the builder, rather than a run-of-the-mill factory wheel.
Infinite combinations
Hand-built wheels offer infinite combinations through the four components of nipples, spokes, hubs, and rims. Because the possibilities are infinite, it is often the case that one gets lost, and in the pursuit of perfection, one ends up unable to choose anything at all.
Committed to handcrafting.
The benefit of hand-assembling each wheel one by one is that the intent of the builder is imbued within it. While every individual seeks different qualities in a new wheel—such as its appearance, rotational performance, or weight—a superior wheel is born when the intent of the rider and the intent of the wheel builder successfully align.

Try choosing from the stock wheels.
We have collected a selection of hand-built wheels assembled by Gorilla Spank. To start, let's choose the right wheel size for your current bicycle based on your intended use.
29" & 700c
We have compiled a list of standard 700c sizes for road and gravel bikes, as well as 29" wheels, which are frequently used for dirt tourers.
Complete 29" wheelsets are surprisingly rare, making this a category where Gorilla Spun truly shines.
27.5" & 650B
A category featuring wheels for a wide range of uses, including gravel riding, touring, and daily commuting. Choose based on weight, durability, intended purpose, and riding style.
26-inch
If you're looking to upgrade the drivetrain and wheelset of an old mountain bike passed down from your family or one you've been riding for years, check out this category.
Since finding pre-built 26" wheels on the market is difficult, this is a chance to show off your hand-building skills.
Others / Dynamos, etc.
Whether it’s for a small-wheel bike, a cargo bike with different front and rear wheel sizes, or a hub dynamo, leave any wheel needs to us. Please feel free to contact us via the inquiry form for any wheels not currently in stock.
