The case for buying handbuilt wheels: CT Stories
There’s something magical about a good set of wheels. A set built for what you need and what you want, for your weight and your riding style. In an era of ever-increasing automation, something built by hand, built by someone you’ve spoken to, is ever-more appealing.
Ryan Downes started Ryan Builds Wheels in 2014, in St Werburgh’s, Bristol, UK. It’s now a three-man operation, co-owned but all three. The company is known for its lovingly laced, obsessively perfect, made-to-order wheel builds.
As fans of handbuilt wheels ourselves, we decided to swing by the Ryan Builds Wheels shop, meet the men behind it, and have a look around. What we found was a personal and material case for buying wheels that don’t simply come off a rack. To see for yourself, check out the video above.
