// Who is "Ze BOSCH"?
Ze BOSCH is someone you may, or may not have had contact with over the last several years. He has extensive experience in the cycle industry in sales, as a mechanic and behind the scenes. Ze BOSCH has been building wheels for many years supplying to some of Australia's leading athletes and retailers. Ze BOSCH is still active in the cycle industry and is now up and running as a freelance wheel builder. Ze BOSCH has been riding, racing and commuting on his own wheels for years, meaning you get a wheelset you can trust.
// Why is Ze BOSCH here, why wheels?
Ze BOSCH firmly believes that the biggest single difference you can make to your everyday riding and racing (aside from training harder!) is wheels. Saving weight on rotating mass, having a wheel that is more reliable, stronger or more aerodynamic will be money well spent. Even completely changing the feel or your bicycle for the better.
A common misconception of wheelsets today is that they are a "throw away" item, particularly pre-built wheels. This need not be the case. Wheels are made up of individual parts that can be replaced or modified, quite often giving a better result than the original wheel, which is often built to meet a price point, not performance.
// Business philosophy
Ze BOSCH wants to work with you or your favourite bike shop to provide the best product available. Building a relationship with your local shop is very important and while you can buy directly from this website, I fully encourage you to talk with them as well. Regardless, you can expect the same quality and service to fulfill your wheel needs.
At Wheels by BOSCH we provide a range of services to help start you riding, keep you riding or get you over the line first. Everything from wheel reconditioning and truing to hub rebuilds, spoke replacement and of course, our specialty, wheel building.
// Custom wheel building solutions
Hand built wheels are stronger and more reliable, it's proven.
Many people own wheels which have been damaged, worn out or simply neglected and left in a corner awaiting TLC. If you break down these wheels, you may find that many of the separate components are still in perfect working order.
Wheels by BOSCH offers you a solution. We can custom build nearly any component back to it's original specification, or modify it for the better. Supply us your existing parts and have them built to something brilliant for a fraction of the cost of an equivalent new wheelset or experience our full custom service and start from scratch.
The best part is, you're the boss. With our knowledge and experience we can guide you through what works and what suits your budget to achieve a result that you're happy with. Everything down to the finest detail...even decal colours!
Everything from general training or racing, commuter-specific or your dream wheels, we have a solution.
// Truing, tuning and tensioning
Got a hop? A wobble? A side-to-side? Spokes feel loose? Send it to us for a quick and easy repair or tension.
// Reconditioning existing wheels
You've broken a spoke, now two, now three! Three strikes and you're out! If the rim is still OK, send it to us for a respoke. It'll be as good as new!
// Hub rebuilds or bearing upgrades
Rough hub? Need new bearings? Or perhaps looking for that extra edge with a ceramic bearing upgrade? Apply here.
