Looking for a Wheelbuilder

One more thing --

How much should I expect to pay to have 2 wheels built? (I already have
the hubs and the rims)

Just bought me some new hoops, now I need to get them laced up. Anybody
know any reputable wheel builders in the Greater Salt Lake City, Utah
area? Nothing beats a well built wheel set!

Thanks,

If you find a great wheelbuilder, you will pay whatever he charges.

Butted spokes, $.75 each, single guage, $.45 each, $4 rim tape and
$35/wheel for the build.

That sounds about right. In the San Francisco bay area, 32 db spokes
and nipples cost about $25/wheel and labor ranges from about $45-55 per
wheel.

Hi, send them to Peter at Vecchio's.
http://www.vecchios.com/

I had a set built by him last spring, I have 2500 problem free miles
on them and they are still true. In fact I just checked them, to be
sure. [The bike is in a spare bedroom.]

I live in Milwaukee Wisconsin, but I choose Peter because he always
posts about doing things the right way, no shortcuts, and the proper
tool for the job.

I also sent him the hubs, so he is willing to let you supply some or
all the parts.

Life is Good!
Jeff

I disagree. AwOL is not the proper tool for Usenet posting! 😉
