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!

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.
