Richs Ride Across America

ABOUT HANDS ON WHEELS

Each wheel that leaves my shop has been carefully assembled, tensioned and trued by only me. I've built thousands of bicycle wheels over 24 years, and every wheel goes out with this guarantee:

Rich at the lacing stand

if the wheel goes out of true, breaks a spoke, or develops any other irregularities during normal use, I'll fix it -- free of charge -- or

pay to have it fixed if you live outside the San Francisco Bay Area. Elsewhere on this site, you can find photos of wheels I've built, as well as a gallery featuring various bicycle trips I've taken. I'm passionate about bicycle touring "self-contained," so the wheels I build are designed to carry big loads and withstand serious stress over time.
