A Tribute to Bill Mould

About Bill Mould, Custom Wheel Designer and Builder

 A lifelong rider, Bill was an experienced racer, century rider, and USA Cycling licensed race mechanic, as well as pilot, college science professor, and engineer who applied his skills daily.  In the last twenty years, he became an internationally recognized expert in designing and building all types of bicycle wheels.  Professional riders benefited from the speed, strength, and light weight of Bill’s wheels in races such as the Tour de France the Hawaii Kona Ironman, and the International Time Trial Championship.  His comprehensive knowledge of bicycle wheel physics, engineering, and fluid dynamics were extraordinary.  One prominent racing group noted: “Bill is a master of his trade, one of the foremost wheel builders in the world.  His breadth and depth of knowledge have been an incredible support system for us as we strive to create the most groundbreaking wheels imaginable.” Bill built many thousands of wheels of every conceivable type. 

Most of all, Bill was a friend to many at VeloMelo, he will be missed by our club.
