Wheel building and truing service

Guys - isn't £30 with spokes included an amazing bargain?

depends on where you get your spokes from...

you can get 80 spokes from cyclebasket for £21.60 including their crazy £6 delivery charge. so he's charging £20 for the building and effort of buying the spokes, but that is assuming hes not getting them trade.

Fair enough, I wasn't aware of that. Also depends on what spokes they are too, I guess.

Whilst on this topic, I just PMd dogsballs about a build.

Can anyone vouch for him? I heard he's good...

When I say heard, I mean read on here somewhere...

Dogs is good but often busy.

he's a good guy, haven't ridden his wheels though so cant comment on that.

I've built myself a new rear this weekend using this video here, very satisfying and surprisingly easy to do.

now got it true and round to within 1 or 2 mm, just need a new cog for it and going to get it checked out by somebody to make sure it is tense enough.

Yea I might have a go. I've built a few before, but they were mtb and under the atchful eye ofa shop mechanic.

Thanks for the info guys!

they are double butted sapim spokes. black or silver.

I've built a couple of wheels but wouldn't mind checking they're done right. In Balham.

Any experts happy to have a look and help true them?

Beers on me for a good job.

Any one recommend/do for me a service on a set of beater wheels I picked up very cheap (hence pretty trashed) ?
