Can anyone recommend a wheel builder around the Bolton/Manchester area (pref who's not too busy)? Moon on a stick?
Just picked up some new rims and need them fitting onto my existing hubs.
Thanks.
Try Wallis Cycles, near Preston. It's a proper bike shop and he seems to know his onions on wheel building.
Also there's Paul Hewitt near Leyland but he's more roadie.

again more road orientated but has got in mtb dt/mavic rims for me in the past, not sure about stans and others.
Again, more roadie orientated, but they've built a few wheels for me in the past, and done a good job. A good bunch

Rich at www.keeppedalling.co.uk he's a mountain biker and tourer and commuter and a very good wheelbuilder
Horwich near enough?
Neil's a good lad.

Used Neil a few times, find him brilliant but he's away until Thurs and I imagine he will be busy when he's back in. Was hoping to get sorted for the weekend but I think I might be pushing it a bit.
Thanks for the other suggestions, will have a ring round.
Another vote for Geoff Smith.
I'd echo the comment about Rich at Keep Pedalling. Only heard good things.
Also Phil/Martin at Eddie mcGraths in Urmston.

I'd always go with Paul Hewitt around here. The road and MTB wheels he's built for me are both solid.
He build wheels for Wiggins too if that makes a difference. Though obviously my recommendation is worth more! 😀
+1 Paul Hewitt
He does mtb too but you may need to supply the hub/rim.
