DCR Wheels is an independent wheelbuilding business owned and run by David Meadows from a small workshop in East Sussex, with wheels hand built in the UK. It creates custom wheelsets tailored to each rider’s discipline, riding conditions, weight, climate and preferences, and offers signature options for those seeking a starting point with less choice. The range covers road, gravel and mountain biking, with components and spares including hubs, rims and spokes, alongside accessories and specialist tools. DCR also provides detailed product guidance, articles on subjects such as disc brakes and tubeless setups, ordering information, and personalised advice to help customers choose suitable wheels.

Each wheel is individually assessed, carefully tensioned and intensively stress-tested using specialist equipment, with the aim of delivering durable, serviceable products rather than disposable ones. The business can also help extend the life of compatible components by rebuilding wheels around existing hubs. DCR Wheels offers a lifetime warranty for spoke replacement and retruing, and customers may return wheels to the workshop for a free check; shipping and improper use are excluded. Hub or rim failures are subject to the relevant manufacturer’s guarantee.
