Recommendations please!!

My wheels need re-tensioning and my local LBS isn't the best for truing (not naming them as they're otherwise spot-on!).

Before any one says 'do them yourself', I don't have the patience to do it myself. Always end up chasing a buckle round and round 👿

Surely your usual shop has now been named somewhere above 😉

I have used Justridingalong after going through the local options as found them much better than the actual LBS... not in the least bit helpful if you don't have Stans (although they may work on other wheels). JRA build a far better wheel than Hope that's for sure (spoke lost tension very quickly after a hub warranty replacement)

Cheers guys, will work my way through Don Skene, Muddy Bums and Sunset in that order.

taxi25 - cheers for the offer. Might give you a shout if none of the shops are free.

ell_tell - my LBS isn't in Cardiff, so hasn't actually been named! Isn't even local to me, but has changed their mechanic to a newbie who hasn't got the hang of wheels yet 😕 Hopefully he'll get up to speed soon or a new LBS might be in order!!

I'll second LoCo - Craig in Sunset builds a great set of wheels
