Do you want a full rebuild or just replacing some spokes? What hub/rim?

Hey,

I need all the spokes replacing. The hub and rim is fine as far as I am aware.

The rim is a DT Swiss 445 D and the hub is a Shimano FH - M525.

Cheers

2nd Baker St bikes.

Think it was about £30ish to build two wheels last summer when I supplied all the parts - they've been true from day 1.

I had a good wheel from Rayment too, though, when Jenn worked there not sure what that they're like now though..

look on crc for DT swiss competition - about the cheapest DT supplier currently. you're still looking at near £40 for the spokes though.

Sometimes it's cheaper to get a new set of wheels - I'd look at Merlion or crc for soemthign a similar weight to yours. They may not be much more than the £70 you're currently lookign at and you get new freewheel bearings etc with a new wheelset too?
