We are big believers in the value of hand built wheels - especially when riding loaded bikes - and strive to make them available to riders of all stripes. High quality, hand built wheels are one of the only bicycle components still produced one at a time by skilled craftspeople in an industry that is increasingly outsourced, electrified, automated and dehumanized. Ryan King - Bike Touring News' Owner/Operator - has 20+ years of experience building wheels for shops, framebuilders and manufacturers including Ira Ryan Cycles, Breadwinner Cycles, Tsunehiro Cycles and Tumbleweed Bicycle Co. We want to build your wheels next!
Every wheel we sell is built to order in our Boise, Idaho workshop and guaranteed for the life of the rim. Your wheels will only rarely need truing and will never break a spoke. In either case, we'll take care of it for no charge. We only use top-quality components that are hand-picked for your bike, riding style, budget and aesthetic preferences. We also offer dynamo wheels that allow you to power a variety of lighting and charging systems with the turning of your wheel, adding even more value and utility to your bicycle.
Ready to get started? Contact us and we'll work together to design a wheelset that will carry you and your gear to the end of the pavement or the ends of the earth! We're happy to provide a quote for a wheel, lighting and/or charging package as well. Email ryan@biketouringnews.com.
