Thanks Epic Wheel Works
August 28, 2009

I'm assembling the parts for my team DeSalvo Ti cross race bike and I decided to go tubeless since it worked well on my last cross bike (and I was tired of constant pinch flats from clinchers + tubes). I had an old powertap wheel I used for winter training that I plucked the hub from, got a new Chris King front hub, and paired it with Stans NoTubes' new white powercoated 29er rims. I was shopping around for places to build them up when I heard about Epic Wheel Works on Bike Portland so I decided to try them out.

Jude at Epic Wheel Works was great, building them up with a focus on strength that I need as a 200lb cyclocross rider, and she turned them around in just over a week. Highly recommended.
