Wheelbuilding

I'm in the US so wouldn't necessarily be a customer, but I'm always on the lookout for good wheelbuilders in my area. I tend not to use machine built wheels if I don't have to. I'm sure there's a market--its building the reputation to get customers that may be the hardest part. Good luck though!!!

Thanks Martin - 2 postive replies so far! Cheers - Nick

Quality wheelbuilding is always desired by people. Most machines cannot produce the quality of work a good wheelbuilder can so there will always be a desire for them. I actually got into wheelbuilding myself since my LBS sucks and cannot build that stay true.

Pretty much the same here. Once you put a few thousand miles on a good set of hand built wheels, you'll never go back. And it's not just the build quality. Every piece of a good wheel set should be picked to not only work together, but also work with the rider. Mass production will never give that perfect of a match.

OP email me through the site as I will have an opportunity for you to advertise your services to an interested audience.
