Cantu Cycling Wheels is a hand built wheel company based in Texas. We specialize in building custom wheels tailored to the rider with many customization options.

Our goal is to build the best wheelset in performance and durability for the working athlete. If you have something specific in mind or have build specs lined up contact us directly or fill out our detailed Custom Build Form.
The Custom Difference
Cantu Cycling Wheels specializes in building the right wheels that are custom tailored for you. Not all riders are built the same in weight and power output, so why buy an off the rack wheel that doesn't suit your needs or style of riding. We work with each individual client to find what is the best fit for them and what they are looking for. For example, a wheel set built for a 115 pound female racer is not going to perform the same as set built for a 210 pound club rider. Our goal is to make sure you get the most speed, power, and durability performance out of your wheels. The combination of our quality and hand built craftsmanship that goes into each wheel lets you upgrade wheels without emptying your pockets.
To ensure the right match, our customization options cover a spectrum from spoke count and pattern to rim depth, hub choice, and braking surface. This approach supports riders across disciplines, from sprint-focused racers to endurance mountain bikers and daily commuters. Each build begins with close consultation to capture preferences, riding style, and the realities of terrain and weather. The result is a wheel set that feels like an extension of the rider rather than a generic component upgrade.
In practice, Cantu emphasizes durability and serviceability. The chosen components are selected for longevity and ease of maintenance, so wheels can be serviced or rebuilt without requiring specialized tools or excessive downtime. This philosophy aligns with the needs of working athletes who rely on their gear for consistent performance week after week. The hands-on, small-team operation allows for meticulous attention to detail and rapid iteration on builds when feedback indicates a better approach.
Customers are invited to engage directly with the makers through the Custom Build Form, a detailed questionnaire designed to surface exact requirements. By documenting weight, power output, riding terrain, and preferred riding style, the team can craft a wheelset that optimizes speed, efficiency, and power transfer while maintaining reliability. The personalized process distinguishes Cantu from off-the-shelf options and supports riders in achieving their best results without compromising durability.
