Analog Built Bitex Rim Brake Wheelset

Tough, serviceable wheels handbuilt by Mark in the Analog Workshop.  

Glow up your whip.  Jiffy Smooth Bitex sealed bearing hubs, shop fav quad butted spokes, Velocity Quill tubeless ready rims.  Stiff, fast rolling, solid cornering.  Whatevering, gravel, commuting, light touring, road riding.  Years ago, James (me!) swapped some box section rims for these Quill rims, and dang, box section rims hit different.  It was like suddenly my Rivendell wanted to lean deep into corners, blast up fire roads.  I wasn't riding bad old rims, I was riding Mavics, and the Quill rims with their huge inner cavity are just way stiffer.  Stiff rims ride better.  You want stiff rims, soft tires.    

Mark has been building wheels for 39 years, and has built hundreds while working at Analog.  He builds all of our wheels, and (James) checks em over, cause a second set of eyes is never a bad thing.  

Quick note on shipping.  We will ship your wheels using bikeflights with full insurance.  The shopify system will automatically bill you SOMETHING for the shipping.  We will bill you for the difference, or refund you, after we build, box, and weigh the wheels.  Wheels will be shipped in about 2 weeks, after they work through Mark's build queue.
