hen we started, we got a lot of requests for wheelbuilding. After brokering a few custom builds, we decided it was time to get organised. We contacted Paul Hewitt. These days, Paul is probably best known as the maker of the ace Cheviot touring cycles, consistent poll-winners. But he started his business as a wheelbuilder, and he's regarded as one of the best. When you order a wheel from Hubjub, we will mail your hubs to Paul with details of your order, and he will ship you your completed wheels.
Paul uses spokes from the DT and Sapim ranges, everything from lightweight Sapim CX-Ray on racing wheels to tough singlebutted offerings on touring setups. His signature approach is to build front wheels slightly more compliant than rear. Although you're welcome to e-mail us with your custom build requirements, most riders will be fine with one of the a la carte options listed here.
For the LeVeL hubsets, we offer our usual four distinct builds. Remember that, although the builds are designated as having a 120 or 135mm rear, you can respace a LeVeL hub quickly and throroughly with a Respacer kit.

If you're the kind of fixer who bunnyhops potholes, the LeVeL Courier wheelset is the one for you. To make the light and nippy Courier wheels, Paul laces your LeVeL hubs into Mavic CXP-33 rims using plaingauge rear and doublebutted front spokes. Rated for 700c tyres 18--25mm, these are no-compromise wheels for fast acceleration and street riding. (Stated price is for silver -- black Mavic rims are a little more expensive.)

If you power your fix to work and back, the reliable and forgiving LeVeL Commuter wheelset is the one for you. Paul laces your LeVeL hubs into DRC ST-18 rims using plaingauge rear and doublebutted front spokes. These are strong, slick wheels, rated for 700c tyres 20--28mm and with more than enough resilience to handle the occasional bump. LeVeL Commuter 700c wheelset includes: |

If you ride C-roads and light tracks, the LeVeL Randonneur wheelset is the build for you. Paul laces your LeVeL hubs into DRC ST-19 rims using singlebutted rear and plaingauge front spokes.
