On the hunt for a wheel builder in Hackney

I'm on the hunt for a wheel builder (preferably in Hackney) after skimming through all the similar threads and not coming up trumps - would rather not spam everyone that's mentioned wheels in the past 6 months!

I have an old (1960s) pedal brake dutch master that I use whenever my commuter bike dies. After clipping a heft pothole on Clerkenwell Road, the rear wheel snapped about 4 spokes.

I'd love to get it back on the road for the Spring and simply don't trust myself to do a good enough job of rethreading it... therefore looking for someone independent I can pay to do it instead!

Any recommendations are gratefully received!

I can do 2 cross front... But I can't trust myself to re-true etc. So this was a pointless post :) Sorry!

I need the help of an experienced wheel builder for a 2-3 days job. Job pays £500. Must have your own Jig. Cytech accreditation is a +. Email me at danieldonnovan@yahoo.co.uk for more info.

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

> Quote text by starting lines with >

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```
Your code goes here
```
Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
