​

Watson-built Wheels:

I guarantee Watson wheels against spoke breakage and going out of true for my lifetime (I am 64, after all, so I may not be able to fix your wheels for the rest of your life). If you break a spoke or your wheel goes out of true, just bring or ship it in, and I’ll fix it for free.  Brake wear, dents from potholes, wheels that are too light or have too few spokes for your weight and/or intended use, and wheels abused, crashed or crushed other than normal riding use are excluded.

We are very grateful for your donation, but it is not tax-deductible.

A non-refundable deposit 50% of parts and labor is required.
