Stay True. Be Epic.

Born of the love for the hand-built bicycle wheel and it’s powerful ability to revolutionize rides, lives, and communities: Sugar Wheel Works, formerly Epic Wheel Works, was founded in Portland, Oregon by Jude Kirstein.

The work begins with the small things. How the company operates is equally important as creating and building a quality wheel. From what lubricants are used, how local orders are picked up and delivered, Sugar strives to make a positive impact on the community and beyond.

Testimonial: D. Farnsworth

I’m pleased to report that my three Sugar wheel sets remain round, strong and beautiful. All of the configurations roll perfectly despite being put through the paces on my daily, year round commute, brevets and self-supported tours. In each case, I thought I knew exactly what wheels I wanted, but the subtle recommendations and build considerations you offered have proved ideal and admittedly better than what I came up with prior to planning with you. Thanks for your expertise, careful craftsmanship and keeping me in fine wheel sets.

This=Awesome.

This is a story that is awesome.  Yup, it’s just that simple.

Last week this was posted on Bikeportland.org.  It was a story about a woman whose awesome wheels were stolen from her bike.  This set an awesome chain of events into action.  The head of marketing from this company read the post and decided to “Get the wheel in motion” by donating awesome parts.  He contacted this little wheel company to build the wheels and together we got this company to donate  tires.  At the end of the day this awesome thing happened and we all got a commuter rolling again:
