Can anyone recommend a wheel builder in the south Devon area?
Trying to get a 50mm rabbit hole rim built on to hope hubs.
Hot pursuit cycles in Newton Abbot are very expensive (£1.40 a spoke!) and Tavistock cycles haven't built that type of rim up before so don't want the work.
Any recommendations?
Thanks in advance
spokesman.co.uk in Ottery.
Road oriented (I had a set of H plus Son Archetypes on Novatech off him) but he might give it a go?
Rockin bikes in yelverton?
I’ve heard good things about velosmith in plymouth
Does that £1.40 include the spokes?
Chaz at roots cycle works in Exmouth. Pro mechanic on various teams and one of the best wheel builders out there...
Thanks for the responses folks!
VeloSmith is most convenient for me. They had sensible advice and prices are competitive. Also had another friend vouch for them.
Will post back on my experiences for others' benefit.
Just for the record. Im very happy with the service at velosmith. Very communicative, sensible prices and Dave really knows his stuff. Wouldn't hesitate to use him again.
Cheers
+1 for velosmith again 🙂
Rob at hardy's cycles in exeter
Hardy Cycles in Fore St, Exeter have been good for me as well
Would thoroughly recommend Spokesman, had a lovely set of Archetypes on Novatec built.
Spoke count wasn't expressly stated but he replaced a set o 32 for 28, fantastic customer service.
Spokesman very good. Well worth a look at, chat to ref wheels. Ottery
Rob a useful and good alround cycle mechanic and good value. Exeter
Chaz is one of the top wheel builders in the UK, exquisite to super strong wheel building. Exmouth
