Sorry we have been so overwhelmed with the demand while we were away and also this week. So much so the website is now down.
We are working really hard to clear the backlog of orders (we are about halfway through now and have 2 collections a day now) and we are getting the website back up and running asap.
If you need anything you can phone or email us and we will be happy to help.
Please bear with us 😁

Hey everyone,

Just to let you all know we are going to be taking a week off at the end of the month.
As normal we will be back with loads of energy to clear all the back orders so keep ordering 👍🏼

See you all soon.

Well that's the last of this batch of 40 wheels in 2 1/2 days which killed the spring of one of our tension metres which is a sad day 😭

This week's challenge was a good one. Someone dropped off a 56" Penny Farthing with a pringle wheel last week for me to sort out. I think they will be happy with the results?

What do you think?

Photos of the cutting room floor.

This is my daily view when I'm cutting spokes.
But today we had so many orders over night and today it ended up being 1980 spokes not the usual 800-1000.
If you wondered 1980 cut spokes weighed in at 21.8kg altogether.

The joys of custom wheel building.

We have so much more planned for next year and also so many more spokes and ni***es to put up onto the website.

Just a quick update,

We are still managing to keep up with all your orders and wheel builds, keep them coming.
Our last day for shipping this year (yes it is coming fast) is the 19th December.
We keep a massive stock of over 195,000 items 🤯 and most of Sapim's range so we can keep up with your orders.

We were the first in the UK to start supplying custom cut spokes to you all in 2009 and still remain the largest.
Everything we send out is always tracked and signed for so you can have peace of mind. Any lost post is normally resent within a day of it being reported.

If you have any questions just ask I (we) will be very to help.
