The art of wheelbuilding
The spoked wheel design is around 4,000 years old.
For millennia, wheels for all vehicles were made by specialized craftsmen—wheelwrights. The slow decline of this craft began in the 19th century as machine-made wheels became more widespread. Nevertheless, in 1937, Poland still had around 8,000 wheelwright workshops. We are the successors of this tradition. Today, the majority of bicycle wheels are also produced by machines. However, even the most advanced truing robots cannot match the precision of an experienced wheel-builder.
We put reliability first, as it is the most difficult to achieve.
In addition, the wheels should be as light and stiff as possible. Finding a balance between these parameters is a challenging task that we have undertaken. Assembling wheels with a shockingly low weight is easy. The real challenge is to build wheels that will cover several tens of thousands of kilometers without fail.
As engineers, we believe first and foremost in science.
We build our products according to the laws of science, without any clever tricks that might make our wheels seem more attractive at the expense of durability. We do not sell marketing fairy tales or present fancy graphs showing how much better our wheels are than our competitors. Instead of the mass production scale usually associated with a reduction in quality, we focus on an individual approach to each set of wheels.
Our customers entrust us with their safety.
This is a great responsibility, so we attach the utmost importance to the wheelbuilding process and do not make any compromises in this area. Our meticulous, artisanal approach will enable you to make the most of the potential you have developed during training and enjoy your ride to the fullest.
