Boyd Wheels

[AngryScientist]

As an engineer, I usually don't get too wound up (wheelbuilding pun!) about spelling errors, etc - as long as the technical content is correct; however when asking people to invest in a company, asking for their money and support, I would think you would want to appear as competent and put together as possible, and in these cases, the details matter.

I realize that many, may folks have had good experiences with Boyd. But mine was not good at all. Many moons ago, I paid a wheelbuilder to buy rims (ceramic Altamont Lites) directly from Boyd and build me a wheelset. They told my wheelbuilder that the rims were not in stock and would be arriving in about two weeks. Weeks turned into months and the wheelbuilder got nothing from them except a runaround.

Then I took over and started calling Boyd directly. Without naming names on who I spoke with, they told me that it would be arriving by the end of the week. The week ended, nothing. The kept repeating this for weeks until they told me that they had a shipment come in one day and the rims will be there. Nope, nothing. Again.

I think after 4-5 months of waiting, I gave up. Called the wheelbuilder to cancel my order. Then called Boyd and spoke again to that same person about my disappointment, who did not even apologize for stringing me for months.

I ordered CCC rims and Boyd drop shipped to Old Potatoe this summer. He built them up on my old XMR hubs. 32H 3X.

Yes, nice rims..You learn a lot about a rim when you build it when new...
