Moonglu

Opened in 2002, owner Neil Dunkley has established a friendly local bike shop feel with welcoming, helpful and knowledgeable staff. Located centrally in the North of England, we are situated between the Yorkshire Dales and North York Moors, ideal areas for both road and mountain biking.

Ripon is now on the UK cycling map thanks to the 2014 Grand Depart, the route of stage 1 of the Tour de France passes through the city and is now popular with recreational cyclists keen to retrace the steps of their heroes.Ripon is also on the Sustrans Route 69 better known as Way of the Roses. We regularly help out stranded cyclists struggling to complete the route with broken bikes.

All Moonglu Wheelworks wheels are hand built in house by owner Neil Dunkley. They are laced, tensioned and trued using the same methods for each and every wheel. What started as a desire to build a set of wheels for a personal bike became a passion and solid part of our business.

With over 10 years of wheel building experience and as keen cyclists ourselves, we provide the professional and impartial advice required when choosing custom cycle wheels.

The road disc brake wheel market has exploded in recent years with disc brake equipped road bikes turning the traditional road bike market on its' head. With bikes on the market below 1000, demand for upgrade wheels is high. Both Hope and DT Swiss were early adopters of the technology, making dedicated road disc hubs for 11 speed road bikes with both 6 bolt and centrelock disc adapters.

Neil has built Moonglu's wheel building business on custom mountain bike wheels. We now offer wheels in all 3 mountain bike wheels sizes, 26", 27.5" or 650b and 29" /29er for a range of applications from cross country riding and racing through trail, all mountain and Enduro, right up to wide profile big mountain and downhill.

Hope are still building Fortus wheels but there is a significant backlog. For the last year wheels have been taking at least 6 weeks to come through from the Factory due to demand. Please only order if you are happy to wait 6-8 week for your wheels. We cannot give refunds for cancelled orders as they are all custom.
