Wheel building

Wheel building is a passion. An art form that takes years to dial in. Here at Manuka Cycleworks in Threlkeld, all the wheels are hand built with precision and product knowledge, one by one.

With over 10 years of wheel building experience, I take great pride in ensuring that you’ll be rolling on the best wheel possible, which is why I offer a life time of free wheel servicing with every full custom wheel sold at Manuka Cycleworks.

Ready to talk wheels?

Please get in touch to arrange an email consultation about your next build, or arrange to pop by for a chat in person. You don’t need to know exactly what you’re after, that’s what I’m here for.

I carry a variety of rims and hubs in stock already. Most wheel builds take up to 7 days to complete, custom carbon wheels can take up to 6-7 weeks.

Hand built wheels start from £290 and go up to £1900+.

Labour for wheel building starts at £48 incl VAT.

Manuka Road wheels

All my custom rims are exactly that - custom. The consultation process is an important part in ordering your set of Manuka wheels. Whether you’re a 60kg or 130kg cyclist, each wheel is tailor made for your application, rider weight and budget. Each wheelset takes roughly up to 6 weeks to complete. However I do have some stock ready to go within a week.

‘35mm All rounder’

ranging from £900 - £1900

Spec: 35mm deep carbon rim, with a Unidirectional carbon weave and a satin-gloss or matte finish. This wheelset offers a 21mm internal, hooked rim, tubeless ready and disc brake only. This rim builds into a 1260g wheelset depending on hub options. Also a great option for CX racing.


‘55mm aero’ 

ranging from £900 - £1950

Boasting all the same dimensions as ‘The Climber’ apart from being a deeper, more aero 55mm. This rim builds into a 1380g wheelset depending on hub option.
