Hi got a couple of wheels that need truing and a few spokes replacing, what kind of price am I looking at?
Cheers
About a tenner a wheel for truing around my parts for a normal wheel
Depends how bad they are & how long they take.
Anywhere between FOC if it's your friendly LBS & you're a regular & £25+
How long's a piece of string?
But seriously, it could cost as little as £10-15, or it could go up as much as £40-50. Depends entirely on what needs doing, what state the rim is in and so on... Take it to your LBS!
£10
£15 for trueing, and a couple of quid per spoke.
Yup, between £10 and £15 depending on how difficult, expect to pay a little extra for bladed spokes and or wheels which require fancy spoke keys (mavic etc).
10er per wheel if wheel is in pristine nick and it's simply insert spoke, tension, iron out small buckle due to snapped spoke.
If the wheel is trashed, all nipples seized, all spokes slack, wobbles every which way, a few years old, spokes start snapping as they are retensioned - cost - a fresh rebuild (spokes+labour, 80ish).
Then anywhere in between. So, that old cliche, "how long is a piece of string".
It will also reduce cost if you drop off wheels on their own with all rotors, cassettes and tyres removed.
Many thanks, know what to expect now.
£10 for me too at the only place I trust to do them. Not worth me messing them up for that much but if it was a bad buckle I would expect more or a rebuild which is £30 + parts IIRC.
I paid £30 for a rebuild with new nipples recently.
