Anyone had custom wheels built by CRC lately? Any opinions? I had a set from them around 10 years ago and they weren’t great. They came not quite as true as I’d expect a new wheel to be. Running a plectrum round the spokes showed the tensions were all over the place. Whilst trying to nip up the tensions on a couple of visibly loose spokes, I found that they appeared to have rather messily threadlocked the nipples, making the whole sorry mess a right old faff to put right.
Hope seem to have run down their stocks of Flow EX’s since launching their own brand rims, so I find myself looking at custom builds from various sources. CRC offer my preferred combination of components at a price which is pretty keen. And that’s before 10% off with BC membership, making them the cheapest by quite some way. But if the build is as bad as the last set, I’m likely to spend that saving putting them right.
Anyone with recent experience?
