Wheel in truing stand

Hand built, your way

Today’s MTB wheels are a near perfection of the most important invention in human history: the Wheel. That said, it takes care, expertise, knowledge of compatibility, understanding of use case, and a passion for the sport to get the most out of a hand built set of wheels.

Whether you’re looking for an ultra light set of XC race wheels, an economical trail build, or a no-compromise, bulletproof, enduro wheel set, there is no reason you cannot have a set that is reliable and well built. We at MTB Dialed believe an expertly built wheel, crafted to the highest standards can fundamentally improve your ride. This means we use only quality spokes and nipples, and select from the best hubs and hoops manufacturers. We can work with almost any budget to deliver the best hand built wheels for your needs — and we’ll stand behind our work. That is our promise.

FAQs

  • Most big wheel builders produce what’s known as machine build, hand finished wheels. This means that the bulk of the assembly is done by a series of machines, including the tensioning of the spokes. Machines cannot match the precision of a professional wheel builder. Machines are cheap, skilled humans are not. Rightfully so. A 100% hand-built set of wheels will outlast, stay truer longer, and ride better than a set of comparable machine built wheels. MTB Dialed wheels are built by hand, to your spec, start to finish.

  • Depending on the level of customization and parts availability, our build time is typically 7-10 days.

  • Hubs and wheels will come with a warranty from the manufacturer. Some higher end carbon wheels are now coming with a lifetime warranty to the original owner(you). This is a great way to go if you want a quality wheelset that you do not have to worry about over the long term.

    Additionally, MTB Dialed’s work is warrantied for 90 days, and covers labor and parts (due to defect only).
