  • Can anyone recommend a wheel builder in the Brighton area?

    I know most of the LBS in Brighton offer the service but I'd be interested to hear from people who've used them and what their experiences were.

    Thanks!

  • Try Baker Street Bikes. Have always built awesome wheel for me and several friends. Reckon they are the best bet.

  • I will knock them together for you. Fully DT Certified. PM me....

  • Cheesecake_intl , I'd like to learn the skill, would you mind if I came around to observe how you do it if rickyxt commissions you?

  • I made my first wheel yesterday. It was really good fun and not as daunting as I had expected.

    I did it all without any kind of truing stand either, using match sticks taped to the dropouts of my bike. I still need to get to a stand to get the dishing perfect but I'd recommend having a stab at it yourself or as cedywedy was planning, watch someone do it.

  • If anyone wants a challenge I need my wheels True'd and erm they are in a bit of a state due to polo

  • Nick. Bring bike to pub. sit outside said pub. feed me beer. your wheels will become straight.

    Wheel building class at my shop in Lewes
    Did a few up in London once upon a time.

    Hopefully this will kick off the Open Toolbox i have planned for the shop.

    Who is up for it?

    Bring beer. Hubs and Rims, spoke lengths. Order from me before hand and get discount.

  • I'd like to make up a decent fixed wheelset. What hubs/rims do you stock? i'm looking at £120 for the set. I've made a wheel before but would like some more guidance.

  • may be up for this if i can get some of my parts sorted

  • Cheers for everyones comments.

    I've decided to source the parts and have a go myself (eeek), if it turns out a complete disaster, I'll take Cheesecake up on his offer.
