• My local, the Velohouse, charges £70 per pair to build and Sapim Race at £1 per spoke totaling £134...

    £70 is a fair price if they're good at the job, but charging twice the going rate for spokes on top is taking the piss. Buy your own spokes and lace them up, then get your shop to finish them if you don't trust your own skills.

    @mdcc_tester Yeah I'd asked if this was an option and predictably they said would prefer to start the build from scratch themselves...

    I'm happy with £70 for the build and figured I'd have to swallow the +£30 mark up to avoid waiting for the postman to not deliver my spokes and take them depot in the next town for collection etc...

    I guess I could ask if they will price match the spokes?

    Cheers again,
    Matt
