We are super excited to have Strada Wheels as a sponsor for the Black Mountains 3 Day 2012.  Jonathan from Strada wants to get involved and has offered up some amazing prizes for a bunch of lucky riders at next year’s event.

There is no getting away from it – a good set of hand built wheels is very special and Darren’s (Strada’s wheel builder) meticulous approach, experience and passion for building a good wheel definitely won’t disappoint.  Along with sourcing the most appropriate (light/durable/strong) wheel components, Strada Wheels have a variety of configurations that cover the spectrum of style and price.

The Bearded Man race team (cross and mtb) will be running Strada built wheels and customers who buy complete Van Dessel builds will get the option of wheel builds ranging from the disk cross set up to amazing aero road set ups!  We are so excited about the prospect of working with Jonathan and the rest of the Strada Wheels team in 2012 and beyond.

A bit of information from Strada Wheels:

Strada Hand Built Wheels is here to show the benefits of hand built wheels to cyclists who may not have considered them before. After the frame, the wheel of your bike is the most critical component in how it rides and handles so we consider your weight, height, physique, power, type of bike before selecting a combination rim, hub and spokes to build a wheelset to match you perfectly.

We have stocked ENVE carbon rims, alloy rims from BOR, Stan’s NoTubes, Velocity and our own label light race hubs and famous brands such as American Classic, Carbon-Ti, Tune, PMP and Chris King too. We use DT Swiss and Sapim spokes including the legendary bladed and light CX Ray. We are also building PowerTap hubs for training with data. We are happy to deliver road or MTB wheels throughout UK, Europe / Scandinavia and other destinations on request via TNT.
