Wheel Angel SLX 54 Matte Black Carbon Spoke Wheelset with Vittoria Corsa Pro Tires - Handbuilt in Singapore

The Art of the Build: Why SLX Carbon Spoke Wheels Outperform Mass-Produced Wheelsets

In an era of mass production, there is a distinct difference between a wheel that is manufactured and a wheel that is crafted. At Wheel Angel Singapore, we believe the soul of a high-performance bike lies in its wheels. This is why our SLX Carbon Spoke Wheels are never pulled off a factory assembly line. Instead, they are born in our workshop through a rigorous, artisanal process that rivals the world’s biggest wheel brands.

Precision in Every Detail: Our In-House Workshop Assembly While many famous brands outsource their builds to large-scale factories, we keep every step of the process within our Singapore workshop to ensure uncompromising quality. When you order an SLX wheelset, you are investing in:

  • Precision Bearing & Hub Installation: Ensuring maximum smoothness and reduced rolling resistance for better watt savings.

  • Pro-Level Lubrication: We hand-apply premium lubricants to ratchets and hubs for optimal engagement and longevity.

  • Artisanal Finishing: From spoke thread preparation to hand-installed decals, your wheelset looks and performs with a level of detail factory wheels simply cannot match.

The Secret to Strength: Our Signature Wheel Building Process A perfectly balanced ride requires superior structural integrity. Unlike mass-produced wheels, we increase tension in small, deliberate increments. By allowing the materials to settle naturally during the build, the SLX wheelset can handle high tensions with exceptional stability—providing you with a stiffer, more responsive feel during sprints and climbs.

Now Available: SLX Carbon in Stealth Matte Our SLX wheels offer the perfect blend of aerodynamics and handcrafted reliability. We are excited to announce that the SLX Series in Matte Finish is now available for local and international orders.
