About Built Wheels

Built Wheels is a specialist wheel builder in Tiong Bahru, at the Back Door unit of Block 57 on Eng Hoon Street. It builds custom bicycle wheels for road, gravel, single speed, track and mountain bikes, and it also repairs wheels, with work on broken spokes, damaged hubs and bearing replacements. The shop carries ENVE, HED, Chris King, DT Swiss, White Industries and Vittoria, among other brands. It says every wheelset is assembled with measurements of the spokes and rims, so the spoke length is right, and each one gets complimentary truing, spoke replacement and hub servicing for two years. Customers say the team explains the options patiently, with no pressure, including to people new to wheel building. One customer ordered a set of carbon wheels after getting quick replies by email and Facebook, and says the build and the price were fair. Another was given a spare part for free while looking for hard-to-find parts. One reviewer found the price for a minor service and a tyre change to be standard, the same as elsewhere, but still praised the advice. Within a kilometre there are three other bike shops on Open Locally. Built is open Tuesday to Saturday, 12 pm to 7 pm.
