Ligero Wheelworks is a custom wheel building company that came to fruition when I decided to put my passion for building wheels into practice.

I have built over 10,000 wheels and take great pride in ensuring they are as close to perfection as possible. My wheel building experience and expertise has grown over the years through attending workshops and seminars, in addition to working for some very reputable wheel companies. As an avid cyclist and racer with extensive knowledge of the cycling industry, I have gained an insight into the need for custom wheels in all levels and forms of cycling. From road to mountain, track to cyclocross, I can build a wheel for any rider, in any category. Every wheel set is hand-built by me with attention to detail in my shop in Chattanooga, Tennessee.
