Just bought a set of carbon road wheels and mate is now after a pair. He wants to go down the “hand built” route and, seeing as I know nothing about this, wondered if anyone could point me in the right direction. He’s after a set of 50mm clinchers. Cheers.

Mr.Blobby – you ain’t seen my DIY 😳

Ugo santalucia over on bike radar.

Where are you based?

Based in Yorkshire but travel across the North and Midlands with work.

jra or wheelsmith … both excellent

Make a pilgrimage to see Big Al at Wheelcraft in Clachan of Campsie. He’ll build you wheels, give you banter and let you make up your own price. He’s a legend for a reason.

oh, and bring bisciuts with you.

Paul Hewitt for me!

Depends where in Yorkshire you are, looking to have some carbon LB wheels built by Barry at Firth Cycles in Queensbury. Has done a re-true for me and have seen some he’s built. Gets good reviews on here.

Sure I saw a post on this subject on here recently?

Just outside of Bradford so visit to Firth Cycles looks on!

Nice coffee and cakes too 😉

Riders cycle centre in Skipton! I had wheels built there. Really good and good to get out on your bike up there too
