Nothing changes the character of a motorcycle like its wheels. The right rim, the right spoke pattern, the right tyre — they set the stance, the style and, above all, the way the bike behaves at the only points where it actually touches the road. We treat wheel work with the seriousness those two small contact patches deserve.
Hand-lacing a spoked wheel is a quietly meditative craft: building the rim onto the hub spoke by spoke, then truing it under a dial gauge until it runs dead straight and round with even tension throughout. Done right it is a thing of beauty and strength; done wrong it is a wobble waiting to let go. We do it right.

True, tensioned and trusted
A spoked wheel is only as good as its tension and truth. Uneven spoke tension creates stress points that fail over time, and a wheel that is not true makes the whole bike feel vague and unsettled. We build and rebuild wheels under a dial gauge, setting even tension and correcting run-out to a fine tolerance so the wheel is both strong and smooth.
Tyre choice is a conversation, not an afterthought. Classic ribbed fronts, period bias-plies, modern radials, knobbies for a tracker — each completely changes how the bike looks and rides. We help you choose tyres that suit the build, the era and the way you ride, then fit and balance them properly.
Balance you can feel
An out-of-balance wheel is not just annoying — at speed it causes wobble, premature tyre wear and tiring vibration through the bars. We balance every wheel we fit, statically and dynamically where needed, so the bike feels planted and smooth from a crawl to highway speed. It is a small detail that you feel every single ride.
Frequently asked questions
Can you rebuild my existing spoked wheels?
Yes. We re-lace, re-tension and true existing wheels, and can supply new rims, hubs and spokes if the old components are past it.
How do I choose the right tyres?
It depends on the build, the era and how you ride. We talk through the look and the handling you want, then recommend and fit tyres to match.
Why does wheel balancing matter?
An unbalanced wheel causes wobble, vibration and uneven tyre wear, especially at speed. Proper balancing makes the bike feel smooth and planted.
