hubs are easy to work on, high performance, very reliable, and gorgeous!

They sound cool too. What do you think? Would you ride these pink hubs?

A proper set of carbon MTB wheels have just left the building.
350g Omega rims on straightpull centerlock boost hubs with bladed spokes and black brass ni***es.
These are raceday light but all-day trail strong.
What a privilege to be able to build these incredible wheels.

It’s been a while since I last built a wheel.
This is a 24h hub and will be paired to a very light 45mm deep carbon rim for fast gravel racing.
Have you ever ridden a Lefty, and what do you like most about it?

These new Supaflow valves are pretty nice.
The oversized lock nuts make it easy to get a good seal, and they have a range of colours available.
They’re also tyre-insert compatible.

They’re always an option when you have me build your wheels.
What colour valves would you like on your bike?

They say red is faster.
All I know is that these hubs are simply gorgeous.
These wheels are being handed over to their new owner tomorrow and I’ll be kinda sad to see them go.
Which hubs would you choose? Red or black?

The photos speak for themselves.
