Dug my bike out of the loft today after it being in there for a while. The back wheel needs a little true to fix a little wobble,however the nipples are all seized. Any idea how much a LBS would be to get it respoked, the rim and hub are fine so I dont want to buy a new wheel.
I'd say a wheelbuild should be £20-25 at the most (debuild and rebuild) and you may need a new set of spokes for around £15 possibly.
Silver spokes are around 50p and black ones 70p give or take 5p.
Wheels build around £25.
Got a Hope hub on DT Swiss rim rebuilt a rear with DT Swiss black with red nips last year - £35 for the build and £30 in spokes. Go to a good builder though as mine is rock solid.
Any shop will 'have a go' but might actually not be very good.
I used a guy on here in Loughborough - Schmiken - would recommend.
dt comp silver 80p,black £1.10
Build £30.
Thanks Rascal - appreciated!
That's not much then I will nip down to the shop today.
Tks
