What exactly are bicycle wheels? They are essential components that allow a bicycle to move forward, and as the saying goes, “Style starts from the feet,” so they also have a significant impact on the bike’s appearance. These “wheels” are truly, truly important components. In this article, we won’t be discussing performance—instead, we’ll focus on how they are built.

In the world of bicycle wheel building, there are two types: “pre-built” and “hand-built.”

“Factory-built” wheels are those shipped by the wheel manufacturer in a finished state, and shop mechanics like us generally don’t need to make any major adjustments to them.(Minor adjustments are necessary, and there are some that, well, simply can’t be used without a bit of tweaking.) Due to this production method, some wheels are tuned for a general audience or for professional or pro-level riders, and they aren’t built with each individual customer in mind.

That’s where “hand-built” wheels—Circles’ specialty—come in.
The advantage of “hand-built” wheels is exactly as the name implies: by selecting each component one by one and assembling them ourselves, we can create a wheel that’s a perfect fit for the user.
