Can anyone recomend a shop to get some fir rims taken off and some open pros put back in there place.

Is there a guy on here who builds wheels? Did a quick search but cant find the details.

Cheers

I'll do it in trade for your FIR rims.

I can do it for you. I charge a tenner per wheel. It depends on whether the ERD (Effective Rim Diameter) on the Open Pros are the same as the FIR rims. I measured the ERD for Open Pros last week for a set that I completed yesterday and it was 604mm. If your existing rims are ±1mm then you'll have to get new spokes. Perhaps up to 2mm. It's ok if the spokes end up a bit on the short side as you can still bring up the tension, but too long and you'll reach the end of the thread.

Trampsparadise has first refusal of course.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
