Hi,

I am looking for a front wheel with something along the lines of a Deore m595 hub, but a rim that will take nice narrowish tyres like 23s or 25s. I guess I will then want a similar thing on the back :-) but I can't mention that as it'll probably have a big 10 speed cassette on it...

I don't seem to be able to find a factory wheelset that comes in these sort of sizes... Is there any reason I can't find a nice wheelbuilder and ask them to build a set of something like this?

Many Thanks

George

No reason at all, just be sure they can lace a disc wheel correctly.

Thank you...

Is here a good place to look for London based wheelbuilders?

Thanks again

I'm sure it is. Someone here was offering the service for £15 (plus parts at trade recently). Can't speak for anyone's quality as I build my own. Bump this tomorrow and I'm sure they'll be plenty of ppl offering.

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

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

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