After my road wheel thread yesterday (thanks all) BIL has gone off lightweight wheels and back to basics with open Pro/105.

He's seen a cheap build at Rutland...are their wheels OK?

Just check they have all the bits in stock. Thats their usual trick, take your money then email you a week later to say it will be 3 weeks before they get it in.

meh, I bought some hope hoops - factory built. They were fine.
Mate had a hope rebuilt with a new rim at the Grafham shop, he rode it at Pitch Hill & an hour into the ride most of the spokes had worked loose.
Dunno if it was a friday afternoon build, but it wasn't a good advert...

I can't speak about wheels but I bought my lapierre from there and the mechanics are a great bunch who I have confidence in.

They get my vote

How does the price compare to Parker Intn?

I had some handbuilt by them and they have been faultless - even after a crash on the ice last year.

As above, ring Rutland & check they actually have the bits in stock.

Every order I have made with Rutland has been delayed by a fair amount due to 'in stock' on the website actually meaning 'out of stock'.

In fairness, when I rang them to chase one particular order I ended up with one bloke sorting it out for me pretty soon and keeping me informed.

Plus one for Parker International's wheels - great price and good build quality.
