Who do people get to build LB rims up, or do you all do them yourselves - ie are they reasonably easy for a relatively inexperienced wheelbuilder such as me?

I'm thinking of getting another set. They would be for a tandem and Edwin at LB has confirmed that they can do some slightly beefier ones for that. But they don't have any tandem hubs so I'd need to get them built here.

I went with Arup. I know quite a few from the last group order went with Martin (Arkane wheelworks), I've since had another non-LB set built up by him and it's been great.

No idea if they're easy to DIY.

Thanks.

Another question - did you go with access holes, or was he ok to build them without? I'd rather not have the holes if avoidable, but realise it might make the build harder.
