Got a goldtec hub, which needs building onto a rim.

Can anyone recommend a bike shop with a good selection of road rims and build.good wheels?

SBC Cycles.

Neither central, nor Sarf.

The best central wheelbuilder I'd recommend is Darek at CycleSurgery in Victoria (If he's still there, that is). Lovely guy, and both patient and meticulous.

If you're heading Sarf, DeVer have always had a good rep. Maurice (That name again!) is a great guy.

Build the best wheels though. Put some very tricky combos together for me.

just collected the wheel build from Brixton Cycles.

Goldtec track hub laced up to a DT Swiss RR465 rim. Light enough for a 32h rim and low-profile. Functional, but I won't look like a tart!

White Industries free wheel on its way from CharlieBikeMonger next week. Looking forward to getting out on the bike soon.
