WHY IS HANDBUILT BETTER?

A bicycle wheel is kind of like a suspension bridge: Made out of flexible wiresbut once it’s built and tensioned just right, it becomes super-strong and built to last.

You wouldn’t buy an “off-the-shelf” suspension bridge, right?

We think bicycle wheels should be tuned exactly for you — for your bike, your body, your riding style, your needs. Designed to look how you want them to look; to feel how you want them to feel. And built to keep rolling for years and years. Drop us a line — info@sugarwheelworks.com — and we’ll get the conversation started.

SUGAR STORIES

We love to get people rolling on wheels built exactly for them. Check out some of our customers’ stories.

These Sugar wheels rolled through Northern Oman

Amy and James Thomas have been on a whirlwind of adventures with their Sugar wheels.

Kimberlee Stafford

“I love my Sugar wheels. The day I got them, I got a PR on Rocky Butte, and have been consistently faster ever since. What a difference an awesome set of wheels makes!”

Sorella Forte

Team Sorella Forte is on a mission to encourage women to lead healthy, productive lives through recreational and competitive cycling

Amy Thomas

“I love to explore the less-travelled routes. I have my little gravel obsessions. I will spend an entire season devoted to exploring one area: Gifford Pinchot, Central Oregon, or my latest fascination: the Fifteenmile Creek area around Dufur.”

Sepie Moinipanah

“The thing I love about cycling is the ability to experience your surroundings from a different perspective. You can cover more ground than on foot and slow enough to appreciate the nature around you.”

Jodi Gee

“Cycling has brought me through some pretty hard times including 3 major surgeries, and a continuing battle with thyroid cancer. My recovery is going so well that I’ll be able to run again soon. But the bike will always be my favorite, now!”

Shimran George

“There’s something spiritual about riding a bike and being able to think critically about how you can tackle challenges. Emotions are magnified tenfold. It’s a great time for reflection — and as humans I feel like being able to reflect and gain clarity are essential. Why not do it while pedaling for hours?”
