Repairing Old Bikes
I was born in southern Spain, Ronda in 1993. Riding bikes in those mountains was our way of playing. I soon learnt to solve our mechanical problems and from the age of 8-9 years I also learnt to repair wheels. Since then my life has always been linked to sports like cycling and triathlon. Soon my hobby became a way of life where nowadays it is my job and I dedicate myself full time to it.
In Spain I had the chance to work for brands like ENVE, Composites and PowerTap as technical service manager for Spain and Portugal. Then I moved to the Netherlands, where I worked for Fast Forward Wheels.
Making his own tool
The time was passing through with his hobby until he found the perfect bike companion because they together learned how to center wheels, they even build up a crafty tool for it. It was just an inverted bike fork attached to a table with an installed brake, while the wheel was becoming centered, the brake cable was gaining tension. From that moment he discovered his passion for befitting a wheel builder job.
Working for well known brands
After finishing his studies he started to work in different cycle shops. Following some years of big experience in the bike industry he fitted a responsible function as a head of technical service Portugal- Spain of world well known brands as Enve Composites, PowerTap Saris in Tamalpais S.L. being as well responsible for the wheel production and building.
Working in the Netherlands
Leaving behind years of experience in his own country he decided was time to move forward to The Netherlands and learn how far his dreams would come true. In that country he worked many years as wheel builder for world wide technical service employee, FFWD Wheels, offering him a never ending learning process.
The birth of a company: Wheelobsession
That “learned process” made him understand he could make his dream come true and therefore Wheelobsession.pro was born. A youthful company with tons of initiative focused on quality production, technical service, distribution and packaging where all world wide brands can have an opportunity inside Europe too.
