Is there any noticeable difference between the two ? (That I would notice)
I know that Harry comes with a big reputation, and Arup is highly regarded on these forums. I am presuming that I will be paying a premium for Harry to build the wheels, is it worth it ?
TBH I am not really sure if its a question that can be answered, initial conversations with Harry suggest that he will only build you what he thinks will work for you.
i.e I wanted Sapim Laser front and back but he told me he won't put them on the rears. I also wanted blue nipples but he told me he won't use alloy nipples with lasers.
I guess that’s what you pay for, his experience. If he is going to splash his name around the rim then it'll only be on a wheel he 100% believes in
