I have been riding and racing both mountain and road bikes for the last 15 years. I'll put my hand up as a self confessed gear junkie. During that time I've ridden many of the usual production brand wheel sets available. Mavic, Campagnolo, Shimano, Velomax/Easton, on and on the list goes.
Recently when I was racing in a Friday night criterium at Sutherland, I had a small race incident that left me with some broken spokes. I was able to use a neutral spare supplied by TWE Wheels, a brand that until then I hadn't heard of. The wheel I briefly used, was very nice and incredibly stiff. After the race I spent some time talking with Greg the owner of TWE and was very impressed by his sensible approach to wheel building.
Shortly after this I was looking for a set of all round training/racing wheels in the 1500g range. Based on my earlier interaction with Greg, I felt it was well worth while talking to him about my requirements and seeing if TWE were able to provide a set of wheels to suit within the constraints of my budget.
Greg took the time to listen to what I was looking for, to evaluate what I was intending to use the wheels for and then to make a number of suggestions in the construction of the wheels. With the care and time Greg showed in this meeting, I was absolutely sold on both Greg's ability to produce world class wheels and the TWE product in general with the after sale workmanship guarantees.
The wheels arrived precisely as per the original specification and the weight that Greg had advised they would come in it. To date I've put around 3,000km into these wheels in both training and racing and they have performed flawlessly. Their stiffness is remarkable at their 1500g combined weight, and to date they have remained completely true during normal use. I suffered a racing incident recently that left me with a broken spoke, the result of another riders front skewer being driven into the wheel. I took the wheel back to TWE, where Greg spent considerable time, not only fixing the spoke and re-truing the wheel, but also completely servicing the rear hub.
I can't say enough good things about the TWE product and the service and professionalism that backs it. I'm currently building my 'dream bike' and it's testament to TWE that I'm not even considering putting anything on it other than a set of TWE racing wheels, they are as good or better than any wheel I've ever used at a price that is by any measure very reasonable.
