[#4045626]

I know it's lazy and i know i should learn to do it myself and it's certainly on my 'list'. But for the moment, can anyone recommend a good wheel repairer/builder in Bristol. My rear wheel has gone out of whack causing a buckle and the dishing to go awry resulting a a wobbly wheel that doesn't sit central in the rear triangle.

i will learn one day but with the dishing issue i don't think this is the place to start.

Ross Taylor of Taylored cycles. He did a brilliant job on my road wheels - he charged £50 for the pair IIRC (I supplied the parts).

Cheers guys. Have used Bad Ass before and very impressed with them, i'm in North Bristo though so a bit of a trek for a simple (hopefully)wheel truing job. Will try one of these recommendations.

Thanks for offer wrecker, but the thought does scare me a bit. Ifit were just a buckle then would take you up on it, really don't know what to do with getting the dishing right. Might get the Roger Musson book though and have a read up. Just to see what i would be up against!
