PARTS

What is a wheel in a bicycle? It is an important part for a bicycle to move forward and has a great influence on the appearance of the bicycle, as it is said that "fashion starts from the feet up. The wheels are such a very, very important component. This time, I would like to talk about how they are assembled, not about their performancE

In the world of bicycle wheels, there are two types: "fully assembled" and "hand-assembled.

Complete assembly" is a wheel that is sent out by the wheel manufacturer as a finished product, and we, store mechanics, rarely have to make any major adjustments to it. (Some wheels need to be fine-tuned, and some wheels need to be hand-assembled.) Because of this, some wheels are made for a specific group of people, or for professionals or professional-level riders, and they are not made with each individual customer in mind.

This is where Circles' specialty, "hand assembly" comes in.

The advantage of "hand-assembly" is that we, mechanics, select the parts that make up the wheel one by one and assemble them to complete the wheel to fit the user just right.
