Wheelworks.co.nz, Handbuilt wheels by Tristan Thomas

I love rebuilding used hubs – there is just something cool about giving a high quality hub a fresh lease of life with a new rim.  This old Record hub (complete with grease port and original quick release!) was in great shape and survived the impact with a car…the rim didn’t.

James wanted it rebuilt onto a black Open Pro to match the rear wheel.  We used DT Swiss Competition spokes and brass nipples – perfect for a training wheelset.

Record / Open Pro wheels are a bit cliche but they really do build up to be an excellent ‘fit and forget’ wheelset with good durability and reasonable weight.  Just watch out for cars :-)
