[Closed] Wheel builder in the North East

I have to have a wheel rebuilt, having abused my bike's ability to work with point & fire line choices.

Can anyone recommend somewhere in the North East (Newcastle / Durham / Sunderland)? I'd normally go to Steel's but that is sadly no longer an option.

Paul Curran in Stockton has a very good reputation for wheels (as well as riding bikes very fast) if it's not too far South for you.

Had several sets built by Westbrooks in Stokesley - they are still round and tune after years of abuse

I shall let Ben know when I see him that he has moved on ๐Ÿ™‚
Suspect it may be a different Ben- he however is leaving soon too.

Another +1 for Skinny Mick. Top mechanic, a top rider and a canny lad to boot.
