Wheel builder recommendations

Post by Artdent » 20 Nov 2012 19:48

Looking to have a set built based around my weight 94kg (I am 6 foot 3 ) :wink: I was thinking of using Wheel smiths but if anyone can recommend something a bit closer with plenty of options I would appreciate it.

Thanks

All depends on where you are, but maybe speak to Tim at Echelon Cycles - HERE

I can recommend Ben and Sean at Venture Bikes in Stirchley. Both very experienced wheel builders and good blokes.
