Who we are

True Wheels UK was created in 2011 to support local cycling clubs especially the youth scene. We specialise in the supply of  hand built wheels which come with a guarantee of quality in build and componentry and with the assurance of an after sales service. The personal experiences and qualities which have led us to this business are outlined below.

As a para-athlete he won a World’s road race silver medal for Britain and holds many, still standing, tandem records from the British time trial scene. Super power: builds almost invincible wheels.

E-bike conversions: we specialise in converting your trusted bicycle into e-bikes, we can fit most systems but are installers for Boost e-bike conversion kits. Boost is a British designed and manufactured control system for e-bikes. Boost offer conversions for both regular bikes and Brompton bikes.
