I'll pop a message into the thread later. 32h will be plenty but not too fussed about either. I did pop into my lbs when I was down in London a couple months back and the quote for labour for a wheel build seemed pretty mad and was thrown off the idea of getting them built at. a shop.

That's because shops (especially in London) have overheads, and can make a killing on labour charges, the guy building your wheels is on the same hourly rate whether he's building wheels or making a brew for the team. Wheel builders on here do it for extra coin, and because they love building wheels, takes them to a zen state, either that or they're just nuts!

Have a chat in the wheel building thread, see who's near you, or alternatively, get stuff posted to the wheel builder, then you pay for shipping to Leicestershire. Do you need 36h, are you that much of a beast/ doing a world tour?
