Wheelworks.co.nz, Handbuilt wheels by Tristan Thomas

Alistair races Pro-Elite cross-country but I think he was daydreaming of being a pro downhiller and pretending to keep up with Steve Peat :-)  The resultant crash put a pretty significant buckle in the 334 gram ZTR Olympic front rim.

Despite this crash damage the Stan’s rims, even the really light ones, are amazingly durable.  I’ve only had a few wheels which needed to be rebuilt because of rim damage and in every case there was a spectacular story which accompanied the wheel.

Some pics of the rebuild
