No problems with my Hope Hoops. Excellent value as well. Will buy from there next time.

Yep – I had them build some 29er wheels many years back. They were straight and true when the bike was nicked, after 8months Peak rock bashing…

Matt built me a stunning set of pauls hubs on H-plus son rims, still going strong.

Other Matt also made me a frame, that’s awesome too.

Another endorsement from me. Excellent wheels. Matt even took the time to show me how to set my wheels up tubeless from start to finish.

Excellent service as always from 18 Bikes.

If I were EVER wealthy enough to buy either new wheels or a new bike, I don’t think I’d shop anywhere else.
