It’s time for the monthly post and a friendly reminder to please check #underthehood once in a while 😉 . . . . . #rust #corrosion #seized #sweat #unicorntears #mechaniclife #diablowheelworks #cheetodust
Time for my monthly post and please don’t forget to service your hubs 🙏💥 The health of hubs are usually an afterthought yet without them you can’t roll. Diablo is always here to help 🤘💪😎 . . . . . #hubservice #chriskingbuzz #mtblife #bikemechanic #diablowheelworks #lasucksforcycling
A little bit of #weightweenie building with some some Extra High Polish Shine 💡☀️😉What a way to end 2018💥😎! A big thank you to @fairwheel for all the help with the rims and hubs for the build: Easton R90sl/Carbon Ti SP road. In tru weight weenie fashion removing the decals got these puppies down to an even 1350g 👀🤓💥 . . . . . #happynewyear #solight #brightasthesun #wheelbuilding #handbuiltwheels #customisking #tolegittoquit #diablowheelworks
I decided it was a good idea to learn how to read a book again 🤓What better book to use other than #thehitchhikersguidetothegalaxy 💥😎😂🙏 . . . . . #douglasadams #42 #readabook #jumpstartthebrain #notjusttech #wordsonpaper #readforfun #itwillsetyoufree #diablowheelworks
So this beauty came in last week for some new rims. The customer no longer wanted to deal with the Mavic GL330 tubulars and we went with the H+Son TB14 in hard ano gray. To say the least the bike gained a few grams but haven’t we all over the years 🤣😎. A fun fact: it is the Vitus 979 (in blue) that made me fall in love with bicycles all the way back in 1983 when I was 9 years old. This bicycle was and still is the epitome of style, at least for my crossed eyes 💥 . . . . . #vitus979 #classicroadbike #style #duraace #sis #12speed #baaw #diablowheelworks
A long over due post and more importantly a huge shout out of gratitude to Mr. Jonny Bell @noblewheels 🤘🔻Thank you for this wonderful lacing jig. My low back thanks you as well 😎 . . . . . #thingofbeauty #wheelbuilding #noblewheels #lacingjig #handbuilt #longtimenopost #diablowheelworks
I know, I don’t post very consistently anymore, but when I do it’s #golden 🤣🤷‍♂️🤓 . . . . . This is a beefy rebuild reusing the I9 hub with a new LB rim, Sapim D-Lights and alloy nipples. It came out super nice💥💪 . . . . . #wheresthebeef #righthere #torch #rebuild #reuse #heirloom #wheelbuilding #handbuiltwheels #cabrone #industrynine #lightbicycle #sapim #diablowheelworks #wheellife
A little before and after on @chriskingbuzz ISO freehub body. This hub had not seen any service in over 5 years of heavy use. It is always amazing to take something so beat up and full of gunk and make it look and function like it is brand spanking new again 💥💪🐝 . . . . . #angrybees #buzzbuzz #fulloffun #grimy #servicetime #hublife #mechanical #handmodel #diablowheelworks
So it seems that @astralcycling rims paired to @whiteind hubs is the winning parts combo that most of my new customers cannot say no too. Disc brake, rim brake, alloy, carbon, road, gravel, and dirt! Anything you can dream up and it can be yours! Have fun rippin’ on the new wheels @espiritu9 🤘💥 . . . . . #wanderlust #cld #raysfordays #brassbaby #handbuiltwheels #customized #norobots #wheellife #diablowheelworks
