I have been racing for over 15 years and have tried many different
wheelsets
for training and racing, including wheels/rims from Zipp, Corima, Mavic,
Shimano, Velocity etc. At 191 cm and around 82 kg, I am by no means light
on wheels and the aforementioned wheels all failed after relatively short
periods of racing / training.
After many years of wheel problems, Greg from TWE built me a bullet-proof
rear wheel for training and a pair of 20/28 alloy race wheels. The
training
wheel has never suffered a broken spoke or required re-trueing and now only
needs a new rim because the old one has worn thin from around 50,000
reliable kilometres. My race wheels are built with quality lightweight
components and have proved very fast and just as reliable - I recently rode
them to win Australian and NSW road championships.
The important thing about Greg's approach is he doesn't try to sell you the
latest fad or the wheels that the bike shop got a good deal on - he builds
the wheels that are right for you, backed by an honest warranty. I have no
hesitation in recommending his services.
