Below is a list of the most popular MTB, road and gravel wheels I build for my customers. Of course, every wheel set is custom, and built specifically for you, to suit your budget, riding style and taste.
Mountain bike wheels (Superlight XC)
South Industries 29XC carbon rims / Hope Pro5 hubs
These wheels are perfectly suited for riders who focus on marathon-distance rides and races, and require the peace of mind of the South Industries lifetime warranty and excellent crash-replacement policy.
Nextie Vista carbon rims / H-Works hubs
Ultralight mountain bike wheels for those who demand the best. These wheels punch well above their price and weigh in under 1250g for the set. The rims have 30mm inner width and the hubs come with a 54t star-ratchet freehub mechanism.
Stan’s Crest Mk4 alloy rims / H-Works hubs
These are among the lightest alloy wheels currently available anywhere. They’re suitable for XC and gravel riding, for those who have a modest budget but require wheels which are light and responsive.
Mountain bike wheels (trail, e-bike & enduro)
Stan’s Flow EX3 rims / Hope Pro5 e-bike hubs
Arguably the most robust 29er rims on the market, laced to arguably the most robust hubs on the market.
These wheels are for heavy-hitter riders and for high-powered, long-travel e-bikes.
Stan’s Flow Mk4 rims / Hope Pro5 hubs
For trail riders who need reliable, durable wheels without excessive weight. These 30mm inner width rims sport an offset spoke bed, allowing a more even spoke tension distribution between drive- and non-drive side of the wheels.
Spank 359 Vibrocore / Spank Hex drive hubs
The vibration-damping and radial compliance of these rims will keep you on track during the roughest of descents. The hubs sport a freehub with 102 points of engagement. Are you brave enough to rock this color though, or stick with black?
DT Swiss XM481 rims / DT 240 hubs
You don’t get a more premium alloy wheelset combination.
This set is a superb choice for trail riders looking for the perfect combination of low weight, Swiss quality and good looks. 30mm internal width is the sweet spot.
Road & gravel bike wheels
Nextie RX rims / Hope RS4
Rim brake bikes are far from dead and a great set of aero carbon wheels are the best upgrade to keep your bike current. The Nextie rims and Hope hubs combination punches way above their price class.
Nextie CRX rims / Nextie Rollingstar II hubs
Modern, wide, tubeless-ready aero carbon rims laced to superlight hubs, sporting the proven star-ratchet freehub system made famous by DT Swiss. These wheels are light, fast and much more affordable than equivalent big brand options.
South Industries GX rims / Hope Pro5 CL hubs
#handgemaak carbon rims and centerlock hubs make this the quintessential gravel bike wheelset. Hookless rims, designed for optimum tubeless use, and compatible with any modern freehub system. The last gravel wheelset you’ll ever need.
Nextie GX / Rollingstar II gravel wheels
Premium 30mm deep carbon gravel wheels for the weight and budget conscious rider. At sub-1300g for the wheelset, you’ll find it difficult to match these wheels, even at double the price.
