The demands placed on the wheels of off-road tandems, and disc brake equipped tandems in particular, require the strongest wheels you can find. That's why we use only the best components, and all of our wheels are individually handbuilt by John Kovachi, an expert wheebuilder with many years' experience building tandem, downhill, and BMX wheels. Our wheels and wheelsets are all custom made to either our rigorous standards or to your specifications*. Below you'll see a partial list of the major components that we use for the majority of our custom build kits and standard wheel offerings. If you don't see the brand/model of hub or rim you're interested in using on your next set of wheels give us a call.

	Chris King Tandem & Tandem Disc Hubs Weighing in at only 414gr for the rear and 150gr for the front, the Chris King Disc hubs are perhaps one of the best off-road tandem hubs available. The Chris King tandem hub differs from the standard hub, by upgrading to a stainless steel cassette body and a heavy-duty axle. With standard 19.5mm axle, proven bearings, and the patented RingDrive engagement mechanism, these hubs provide the performance demanded of cross-country racing yet are fully capable of handling tandem use. By using adaptors designed to work with most current disc brake systems, the Chris King Disc hubs are the most versatile you can buy.	See Our Price Sheet Call or Email for Best Price

The SPEEDHUB 500/14 has been developed for both pros and performance oriented hobby cyclists who can appreciate it because of its reliability, perfect single gear ratios, wide range of gears, low maintenance and easy operation; its weight and efficiency are ideal even for pro racing. The sealed gearbox ensures reliability and durability even under the toug- hest conditions. The even increments of 13.6% from gear to gear make it pos- sible to always ride at the performance peak. The overall range kes sure that you have the right gear in every situation. Pure fun is guaran- teed. The SPEEDHUB 500/14 is operated by a twist shifter which shifts simply by pulling separate cables up or down. The indexing of the shifting lies not in the shifter as with common designs, but inside the hub. There is no wear on the indexing system nor need to adjust it.
