Morning all!
Wondering if you can help...
Can anyone recommend a wheel builder, ideally in the Fareham / Portsmouth / Southampton area? Looking to have my Pro 4's built onto some DT 471s and wanted to use someone with a good reputation.
Cheers!
GA Cycles in Southampton have a v good reputation for their builds. Not sure what their lead times are like right now - they've been pretty busy throughout pandemic - but well worth a call.
I can do this for you for free (although I do like beer). I'm in Denmead.
PM me.
Stretches you a bit further, but The Forge in Ringwood have built some good wheels for me.
As above GA have always built good wheels.
Botley MTB?
Just a quick one to say thanks for the prompt responses.
GA Cycles sound interesting - not heard of them before, always handy to know about good bike shops. I'll look at the others too.
Superfli - small world, I work in Denmead so will drop you a PM in the next couple of days 😀
Thanks again!
I had GC cycles in Portsmouth recently rebuild a DT X511 rim into a 240s rear hub (normally build my own wheels but draw the line at straight pull round spokes!)
Wheel was nice and true, still holding up fine 2 months later, i checked the tension after they built it and it was near on DT's recomendations
Cost £40 iirc
Aaron at chase cycles has built wheels for me.
Some hope hubs and Stan rims fir the mtb.
Son hub and dt Swiss rims for the tourer.
