Quality workmanship.

From an experienced wheelbuilder & mechanic.

I'm educated and experienced in mechanical, electrical, electronic, pneumatic & hydraulic components, service, systems & manufacturing.
I also have a personal interest in keeping your things rolling.

If you live on planet Earth:
You can buy anything I have in stock. International shipping on smaller items is very reasonable.
I can help you with technical documents on almost everything out there, from hub gears to old Manitou forks.

If you live in the Oslo region of Norway:
I am available in Oslo by appointment only at Einar's warehouse at the rear entrance to Sofiesgate 60. Ned bakken (near Bislett), or at JanPedal (off Bogstadveien).
Call for an appointment.
And all of the above.

If you live in the Akershus region of Norway:
You can deliver your bicycle, wheels or bicycle component for repair at my workshop at Sonsveien 4, 1555 Son.
Again, call for an appointment first.
And all of the above.

Customer Comments

"Edvard Grieg, Edvard Munch, Thor Heyerdahl, Ben Skinner - Norway's finest."

Mary Butcher:
International customer.

"Thank you Ben - it looks great and I'm sure it will do the job. We are awaiting new chain etc. before we get the tandem back on the road. We should have ordered everything through Norway - it would have all happened quicker!"

Norwegian Paralympic Team:
Tandem track & road wheels, training & competition (2004-2008).

"We thank Hjulcompaniet for professional help! Wheel building is an art, and we have help from the best. Quality and good service!"

Norwegian Paralympic Team (Sponsored)

I am working with the Norwegian Paralympic Team, who are in regular competition internationally, and who regularly race on my wheels, including at the 2004 Paralympic Games in Athens and at the 2006 World Championships. I have specified, built and am maintaining their tandem race and training wheels for both track and road. Get recent reports from the riders.

Pål-Erik Engedahl (Sponsored)

I am working with downhill rider Pål-Erik Engedahl. At 15 years of age he holds massive potential.
2004: Took 1st place in every race he entered, and won the Norway Cup.
2005: Pål-Erik has been riding a new GT, and again won every race he has entered in Norway, retaining the Norway cup.
2006: Injured.
2007: Won Norway Cup. Junior class this time. Well done!
2008: I managed to source him some prototype 4 piston Hayes brakes. He will also be riding on SUN-Ringlé wheels. Thanks HBG.

I am looking for a frame manufacturer who can offer a decent international agreement to Pål.
If you've got what he needs, let me know.
Can you supply a frame that will withstand a full season? Do you have easy access to spares?
You MUST be willing to accept and use detailed feedback on performance and reliability. We will help you develop your product.
You need to have a decent attitude, and to be able to give Pål-Erik international exposure both on the web and in printed media.
Distributors need not apply.
