Mike’s Bikes Has Developed New Wheel Building Tools for Replacing Spoke Nipples and Lubricating Spoke Threads!

Based on decades of shop experience repairing and building wheels, Mike’s Bikes’ program for invention, engineering, and design has developed a new set of tools to replace spoke nipples and lubricate spoke threads more easily, in less time, and without costly mistakes.  Watch this demonstration video to see how!

Please go to our ‘Products and Services’ section to order your new set of spoke tools!

Further to our commitment to continuous improvement, Mike’s Bikes has purchased a MORIZUMI SCT for accurately cutting spokes to the correct length and rolling accurate, durable threads!

The acquisition of this beautiful machine enables Mike’s Bikes to expand and improve its Wheel Services (see ‘Products and Services’ in this Web-Site for services and prices!), and improve the quality of our Wheel Builds and Repairs.  We are delighted to put our wonderful new machine to work for our customers, building their new wheels or repairing their existing ones.  Just contact Mike’s Bikes to discuss your requirements, and we’ll look after everything else.
