"There's a tool for that"

When it comes to spokes there are 20 - 30 relevant lengths and 2-3 different types of each of these lengths that are needed for wheel builds or repairing wheels on regular basis. When you add in all the odd ball sizes we could easily need 120-160 different types of spokes on hand at anytime to ensure that we can fix your bike without the delay of special ordering them.

Enter the Phil Wood Spoke roller. This tool allows us to cut and stamp factory quality threads ensuring that we have the right spoke at the right length with out the compromise of "making a spoke work" when really it is too long or too short.

This tool is one of our shop favorites both because of how useful it is and because the form and function is incredibly pleasing.

These DT Swiss and Hope hubs are two of the most common hubs that we service, here is a look inside. You will see that the Hope uses a pawl design that interlocks with a drive ring inside the hub shell while the Dt Swiss uses two rings with interlocking teeth.
