Nich has built up two sets of wheels for me. Super reliable and incredibly professional. He was also able to assist with some after sales support for me with a cracked rim. Would highly recommend.

Beyond all expectations ! From initial exchanges about what to build, to receiving the finished wheels it was great dealing with Nicholas - he was happy to go into detail about choices and I was informed of progress all along the way. Given … More that I'd never had hand-built wheels or carbon rims before and I was dealing with someone who's not in the same city, I was a little nervous going in....but it was a great decision !! To say this gravel wheelset has transformed my bicycle would be an understatement....not only have they knocked off nearly 700 grams of rotating weight but the #nextie carbon hoops dampen road buzz and make the steel frame even more comfortable. TLDR : I'm a very satisfied customer, thanks Nicholas (two thumbs up)

Second set of wheels I have had done with Nicholas - a set of BladeX Chinese Road wheels which are still perfect 5 years down the line, and now a set of Roval MTB wheels which are without doubt built better than when they came from the … More factory. I even chose to send them down to him from Gauteng because I knew that just replacing one spoke and a few nipples like was suggested by our LBS wasn't going to last. You want your wheels done properly and to have confidence to blast down the hills knowing they won't fail. Highly recommend you have your wheels done with Wheelbuilder.

Second wheel that Nicholas has built for me in a few years and I cant be more happy with his exceptional service once again. Money well spent!

Nicholas was friendly from the get go, with a no nonsense approach we quickly established what type of wheel I was looking for and what my options where according to my budget. He was open and honest with no hidden costs.
It took just … More over a week to build the wheels and send them to me & was also kind enough to source a set of tyres for me.
No hassles & no fuss. Great service with a solid product when stock is hard to come by!

Dear Nicholas,
I wanted to take a moment to write this Google review and express my heartfelt gratitude for the outstanding service you provided as a wheelbuilder. I can confidently say that the upgrade you performed on my mountain bike … More has been nothing short of exceptional - it's truly the best upgrade I have ever experienced!
Despite the challenging weather conditions in the Western Cape, with rain making the riding trails quite difficult, I have still been able to notice a remarkable difference in my bike's performance. Your expertise and craftsmanship have made a significant impact, and I couldn't be happier with the results.
Once again, thank you for your exceptional service, attention to detail, and dedication to ensuring your customers receive the best experience possible. I am beyond satisfied with your work and would highly recommend your services to anyone seeking a top-notch wheelbuilder.
Wishing you continued success and all the best in your future endeavors.
Warm regards,
Willie Crous

Nicholas helped me choose an indestructible wheel and hub for my eMTB. You can tell the workmanship is top notch. I highly recommend WheelBuilder if you are in the market for durable wheels.
Nick Pluck ★★★★★ a year ago
From the initial enquiry to final delivery, it has all be amazing. Nick gave me great advise and sound recommendations. I was updated with pictures and video of the build, from how out of shape the original wheels were, to how incredibly … More precise the new set turned out. I would recommend using Nick for any wheel build you have in mind. Top quality service from a top quality guy.

I ordered a set of carbon road wheels from Nick - he advised me on options, ordered the components, assembled and delivered. The wheels are great for what I do with them, and significantly cheaper than comparable products from the big brands. … More Communication was excellent. I highly recommend working with him.
Corne Basson ★★★★★ 2 years ago
Another exceptional set of wheels built by Nicholas. Thanks for your honest, friendly, and knowledgeable advice. Set of Nextie Carbon Gravel Rims matched to a set of Hope Pro4 Hubs. Been working with Nic for a couple of years now and wouldn't … More go anywhere else.Great job! I couldn't be happier.
