Handbuilt custom wheels.

MHC is known as one of the premier custom wheelbuilders in the country. A nice set of handbuilt wheels is one of the best upgrades you can make to your ride. Whether you ride XC, DH, All-Mountain, single-speed, road, etc., we have the expertise to build your next pair of wheels. We'll ask about your bike, riding style, terrain, weight, preferences, budget, etc. to make sure that you get absolutely the best wheels for your needs. We are also one of the nation's leading dealers of the innovative Industry Nine wheels.

With some bike parts there is no variation in quality no matter where you buy from. Wheels are a different story, the experience and expertise of the builder can make a dramatic difference in initial quality and long term durability. We take the time to go the extra mile, doing the little things that many builders don't, to ensure that you get wheels that will be reliable and easy to maintain. Just because a wheel is advertised as "handbuilt" doesn't mean it's done right. Some companies advertise their wheels as being "handbuilt" when in reality they skip important steps, rush the build, or only final truing is actually done by hand.

We prep the spoke threads, lube the rim eyelets, seat the spokes heads properly, and go through numerous rounds of stress-relieving the spokes during the build. These steps increase long-term durability and minimize maintenance.

Below is pricing for several of our most requested builds (priced with black DT Competition 14/15 spokes).
