Just read bicycle retailer news to find that Steve Gravenites, Gravy,
is building custom wheels. (Gravy was the head mechanic at Schwinn/toyota,
volvo/cannondale, and yeti. He has wrenched for more national and world
champions than anyone else). Evidently you can bring him componenets
of your own (or buy them from him) and he will build you the perfect
wheel depending on your riding style, use of the wheels, size, weight
etc.
I checked out the website: www.gravywheels.net and found that he builds
wheels using King, Paul, philwood, mavic, ritchey, campy, hugi/dt swiss,
shimano, sram, sun and wtb components. You get to chose the hub, rim,
lacing preference, hole preference etc. Since he is known as the master
wheel builder, you are assured the perfect wheel.
Looks like he builds single speed, mtb, road, tri, tandem, cross and
bmx wheels.
Website is still in need of a little work, but concept is there.
