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. This time, we’re not going to talk about performance—we’re going to talk about how they’re built.
In the world of bicycle wheels, 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, are simply hopeless without a bit of tinkering.) 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 what the name implies: by selecting each component one by one and assembling them ourselves, we can create wheels that are a perfect fit for the rider.
