Hi guys I'm looking for a good wheel builder in south wales/mainly Cardiff area. can anyone recommend a good one? Usually I build my own and they last a good few years.
But this one is a bit of an obscure build and I'd rather let someone who may have delt with this build before.
I'm in Devon & have built a lot of odd things (everything from clark kent pineapples to snowflake unicycle wheels) if I can help?
hope pro3 with straight pull spokes onto a mavic crossride rim.
I've never delt with straight pull spokes before and not sure of the length
James at Castle bikes in Caerphilly is recommended by quite a few people and builds wheels for Dave too http://www.davebuchanan.co.uk/
thanks loco i'll pop by later and see what they can do
Ignoring the impulse to ask why - That is a bit odd.
Mavic and hope sell spokes in packs, pre-cut & rolled to length so a build is usually a doddle however as the ERD of the stans and crossride rims is different, and the flange diameter is different they will need something custom rolling up.
that said I think pedalon have stock of most spokes and would be my reccomendation
pop into cyclopaedia on crwys road. Top guys, know their stuff i think they will be able to help
cheers guys I have a few options!
