Latest Custom Builds — White Industries

Manfred is an ex-National Road Champion and winner of many amateur stage races around the world (including the Aussie Commonwealth Bank Classic back in the day). We've known Manfred for well over twenty years, ridden with him heaps, and understand exactly what he needs for his ride.  Knowing this, he rang and asked us to build him some wheels, and advised us to "build me what you know will work for me!" So we did. He is not known for being easy on his equipment, nor keeping his stuff super clean, so we chose White Industries XMR Boost hubs for...

Will had a pair of carbon wheels that had failed, and left him with a pair of beautiful White industries T11 hubs, in stunning anodised red. He asked us for our advice on what was the best rim to put these fantastic hubs into. We suggested a pair of Tailwind Carbon clinchers - 45mm front, and an offset 50mm rear. These rims are very high quality, with great warranty, and nicely wide for modern road tyres. The braking surface is a consistently smooth but high friction, and last extremely well. The price is competitive as well. We laced these hubs...

We built Todd a sweet set of White industries and Spank wheels several months ago. Unfortunately the bike was stolen, and has not been recovered.  Todd needed to replace the bike, and being so happy with the build we did for him, he asked us to replicate it. However, this time he decided on a different aesthetic - to suit his replacement bike (again, the same as before) that has a different colour scheme. Again, White Industries XMR+ Boost hubs, but this time in beautiful polished finish. Shimano Microspline freehub. Sapim Race double butted silver spokes, and brass nipples. A...

Carl found us on the internet, searching for someone to build his dream wheelset. Like us, he was impressed with the depth and weight of the AForce AL33 rims, and was keen to try them out as an all purpose wheelset for riding on Sydney's North Shore. These rims are a good option if you want some aero depth, tubeless capability, and aren't super heavy. We laced these up to the White Industries T11 hubs with Sapim D-Light spokes on the front wheel and the rear non driveside, and slightly heavier gauge Race spokes on the rear driveside to ensure...

Bob came to use with a need to replace his carbon Reynolds wheels. He was unhappy with their lateral stiffness, and unsure of their longevity on the rough roads he rides around Armidale.  He knew that an Archetype build would be just the ticket, having read our musings on these rims. A pair of White Industries T11 hubs also seemed to make sense - tough, light, and super reliable. We had a couple of conversations with him to ascertain the best solution for his 95kgs weight. As a result, we specified 24 light weight Sapim D-Light spokes on the front...
