[#2963608]

Im trying to get together a new wheelset. Thinking hope hubs, 29er rims.
But.......
I dont know anything about spoke length and cant build them.

Anyone here who I could supply hubs and rims to and then purchase for me right spokes and then build,dish,true?

Obviously would pay for spokes and time etc....
Thanks
Chris

Here's a radical idea, why not try a bike shop? You know, a place where they sell bike stuff and do things like build wheels for you?

If you are near Brighton I can do it. If not bikeshop sounds like a good plan!

You could teach yourself to build them? It's really not that hard once you've figured out the theory. It's very satisfying to do and helps loads with truing them back up. [url= http://www.sheldonbrown.com/wheelbuild.html ]Sheldon Brown's website[/url] offers great step by step guides.

Confused...

If he's very good, why does he not want to build them and take your money for it?
