I’ve decided to retire my 2007 wheels as the braking surface on the back wheel has recently changed shape from dished to angled. But the hubs and spokes are fine, it seems a shame to ditch them – is it possible to replace the rims? Any ideas please?

We can probably supply rims (2007 might be an issue as they’ve changed twice since then) but it’s usually a close run thing as to whether it’s worth doing the job … the problem being that complete wheels are so heavily discounted now that by the time we’ve supplied rims and nipples (and if the wheels are old enough for the rims to have worn out, new spokes might also be advisable)and you’ve had them built (we don’t generally recommend this job for home-builders), the costs have started to pile up. Please email me at velotechcycling”at”aim”dot”com for full pricing info.

Thanks, will drop you an email.
