Wheel rebuild

#1 PostAuthor: Z.O.A » Thu May 07, 2009 3:13 pm

Looking at getting a set of s/s spokes at some stage for the A4 as the ones on it are pretty bad, I'm thinking that this is one job that is best left to someone with the experience and equipment in wheelbuilding as getting the correct true alignment and balance of the hubs is essential.
That being the case, can anyone recommend somewhere in Ireland that knows their trade and are good to deal with :?: :?:

I can't help with a wheel builder in Ireland I'm afraid, but make sure they use butted spokes as there are some non-butted available which aren't as good.

Thanks Steven, I would'nt have known to check that, I can't seem to help myself, I keep wanting to buy stuff for this bike, even more than my others.

Z.O.A If you can`t get it done in Ireland ! Alf Hagon does a postal service from UK and the EURO / STERLING exchange rate is in your favour at the moment.
