Here at CycleLab all our mechanics are damn fine wheelbuilders and are on hand to discuss your requirements to make sure you get the right build to suit you & your riding style. Here’s a few parts to whet your appetite:
Rims
H+Sons Archetype – from £55 each
Available in Silver, Black (shown) & hard anodised Grey these rims are super strong and light. Built with a ‘new school’ wider width to create a great tyre shape for improved cornering grip and improved rolling resistance. This is THE rim of the moment (and a staff favourite). Why spend a fortune on carbon rims when these guys cost around a £100 for a pair and are more durable & predictive in poor weather!
H+Sons TB14 – from £55 each
Available in Silver, Black & hard anodised Grey (shown) these rims are super strong and light. Modeled from vintage Mavic rims with the small metal name tag which rebalances the rim. Also featuring the ‘new school’ wider width they are perfect for a retro rebuild. The strong classic box section is combined with double eyelets to produce a seriously bombproof wheel. If Sean Kelly was building a new set of wheels ready for the Spring Classics he’d choose these guys!
Mavic Open Pro – from £45 each
Available in Silver, Black (shown) & hard anodised CD grey these rims are super strong and light. A classic rim for road or ‘cross with a traditional narrow profile… A modern classic.
Mavic Reflex – from £45 each
Available in Silver & hard anodised CD grey (shown) these tubular rims have graced many pro peloton bikes. A strong, lightweight yet sensibly priced rim which is at home on the track, road or covered in mud for ‘cross with a traditional narrow profile… Another Mavic classic.
Hubs
Chris King – from £200 front / £415 rear
Yes those prices are right but these are hubs for life… Built in the USA, Chris King famously even make their own bearings so they can guarantee every single part meets their exacting standards! Loads of variants for different uses and more colours than a double rainbow, if you’ve got the dollars look no further.
DT Swiss 240 – from £140 front / £280 rear
A firm staff favourite. Built in Switzerland these super durable hubs are light enough for road yet bombproof enough to grace any DH bike… They’re not cheap and they might not come in loads of colours like Chris Kings but they are a true fit and forget product and available in loads of variations for all your bikes.
DT Swiss 350 – from £50 front / £140 rear
Want 240’s but haven’t won the lottery just yet? The 350’s are for you! A slimmed down range and built in Taiwan to strict Swiss standards you get 240 tech for half the price. Comparable reliability to 240’s but with a slight weight penalty you may be left wondering why anyone would get 240’s!
Hope – from £65 front / £155 rear
Made in the UK in glorious Barnoldswick, these super reliable and easily serviced hubs are another fit & forget workhorse product. Loads of variants & colours and of course lots of other matching parts to ‘pimp’ your ride from seat clamps to stems & brakes. Hubs (and more) for patriots!
Miche Racing Box – £79 pair

Made in Italy with a forged aluminium body, ERGAL 7075 freehub body and sealed bearings these small flange hubs are available with either Campagnolo or Shimano compatible freehubs. Great for ‘cross or commuting duties these hubs are an absolute bargain.
Miche Primato Track/Pave – £35 front / £45 rear
Great quality hubs and serious value for money these lightweight alloy hubs have sealed bearings inside their forged CNC body. Available in large or small flange and single or double threads, another miche bargain!

These hubs need no introduction, these new versions feature an oversize, light alloy freehub body & adjustable bearings (ceramic upgrade available). Suitable for 9/10/11spd Campagnolo cassettes these are essential for that classic build.
Campagnolo Record track – £115 front / £125 rear
These legendary hubs are still made with price in Italy… Simple, classic, functional & beautiful.
Shimano Dura Ace 9000 road – £100 front / £200 rear
The pinnacle of Shimano hub technology. A great way to finish off a high end build.
Shimano Dura Ace track – £100 front / £110 rear
These hubs love to spin fast, perfect for classic pista builds or track race wheels.
