Wheel Angel Workshop
We have a workshop dedicated solely to wheel building and wheel servicing with an extensive range of tools & parts to get us ready anytime to build an excellent pair of wheels.
5 additional tools that makes your wheel builder different from others
1. Wheel Lacing Jig - Our wheel lacing jig simplifies the process of wheel assembly and reduces the risk of spoke-end scratches on the rims. It also centers the hub precisely within the circumference of the rim, enabling our experienced wheel builders to select the appropriate spoke lengths from the outset. While it is possible to lace wheels between our laps and a stool, our wheel lacing jig guarantees a more efficient and precise outcome.

2. Centrimaster ERD Measuring Gauge - To ensure that your wheelset is durableand long-lasting, it is crucial to use the correct spoke lengths. The Centrimaster ERD Measuring Gauge is specifically designed to calculate the Effective Rim Diameter (ERD) measurement, which is a vital factor in determining the appropriate spoke length. If the spoke length is too short, it may not penetrate the nipples sufficiently, resulting in a weak spot. Conversely, if the spoke length is too long, the excess length may exceed the end tip of the nipple, leaving inadequate spoke threads for further tightening to increase the spoke tensions. Our use of the Centrimaster ERD Measuring Gauge guarantees the accuracy of our spoke lengths and the longevity of your wheelset.

3. Kowa Spoke Cutter - As its name implies, the Kowa Spoke Cutter is a high-end tool that enables us to cut spokes with exceptional precision. We maintain a wide stock of blank spokes, which we can expertly cut and thread-roll to the desired lengths. This meticulous process ensures that each spoke is finished neatly, resulting in a wheelset that is both long-lasting and reliable. Although this step may take longer, we believe that the investment in quality is well worth the effort, resulting in a superior wheelset that will elevate your riding experience.
************************************************************
4. Spoke Tension Calibrator - It is not uncommon for a wheel builder to own multiple expensive spoke tension meters, yet receive varying readings due to differing calibrations and factory standards. Additionally, transportation and usage may cause impacts and wear-and-tear on the tension meter, further affecting its accuracy. At our workshop, we use a spoke tension calibrator to regularly calibrate our spoke tension meters, ensuring consistent, accurate measurements and optimal quality in every wheelset we build.

What Our (Real) Riders Are Saying About Us
This is my second pair of wheels from WheelAngel, and the experience has been excellent once again. This wheelset was built with Chris King hubs, and Andy was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable throughout the process. He spent about an hour patiently walking me through different hub technologies and the trade-offs between them, making sure I understood my options so I could make an informed decision based on my riding style. I really appreciated the time and care he took—there was no pressure, just honest advice and clear explanations. If you’re looking for a thoughtfully built wheelset and someone who takes the time to get the setup right for you, I highly recommend WheelAngel. 12:54 PM
Absolutely fantastic shop. Incredibly knowledgeable and welcoming people. I can see why they have all the 5 star reviews now!
Got a set of mini velos from Andy & Angel. the wheels have been smooth so far from riding on PCNs & potholes. they have been wonderful to deal with; helping me with all of my enquiries & providing great service! Andy also helped take a nice photo of the bike 😎
I recently purchase the Wheel Angel SLX 49/54 carbon spoke wheelset and today is my first structured training ride, and the performance stood out immediately — not in a flashy way, but in the way that actually matters when you’re riding with intent. What impressed me most was the consistency and control. The wheels feel very composed at speed, hold momentum well, and remain predictable even when riding close to threshold or transitioning back into endurance pace. On climbs and rolling terrain, the stiffness feels well-balanced — responsive without being harsh — and the bike tracks cleanly when seated and pushing steadily. From a ride feel perspective, the SLX 49/54 gives a strong sense of efficiency. I felt less “fighting” against the system, recovered quicker after harder segments, and could settle back into rhythm easily. That tells me the build quality and spoke tension are properly dialled, not just light on paper. Andy as the owner and builder, was also excellent to deal with. knowledgeable, approachable, and a wonderful person who cares deeply about how the wheel performs on the road, not just on a spec sheet. It shows in the final product. If you’re looking for a high-quality, locally powered carbon spoke wheelset that delivers real-world performance, stability, and confidence, Wheel Angel is absolutely worth considering.
