price to lace 2 new wheels
« on: December 09, 2008, 03:20 PM »
I took a set of rims, hubs and spokes all brand new to my LBS and they're going to charge me £50 to build both wheels, sounds like bollox to me   >:(
Whats the going rate for wheel building?

£50 for the pair don't sound bad.

lace em yourself following Stidds guide in the tech section then get the shop to true them, new buidl wheels cos ta bit more to have trued than already built wheels.

it's actually not as hard as it looks, the real art lies in truing them.

I pay £50.00 including DT Swiss spokes but that's cash in the skyrocket , it'd normally be approx £70.00 ( that's including the spokes ) .

my local shop costs around £30 per wheel but that includes the spokes and nipples. does depend on where you live though and also the shops reputation can sway costs too!

what we pay here is a very good price considering our local shop is highly reputable in road cycling and bmx

Pijin BMX in Southampton is £44 all inclusive of nipples and spokes for a pair.
One build a year, the only way to get it right. No rushing involved.

How'd you want 'em done? X3 X4 Radial?

I'll do 'em for £30 for the pair.
