Why hand build wheels?
Hand built wheels are made fit for purpose. They are built to suit riding conditions, rider weight, climate and can retain compatibility with older components. They can also fit the aesthetics of the bicycle. If built well they are stronger and more stable: no two wheel components are exactly the same, the components contain discrepancies. Each build needs to be different. A uniform, factory build cannot provide the unique balance of tension required.
