I recently bought a fantastic pair of handbuilt wheels from Wheelsmith (wheelsmith.co.uk) - Derek is based in Perth. They were roadies, mind- not sure if he does MTB.

RudiBoy

Are you in Aberdeen?

What are the wheels you are building?

I built a pair of pro2's onto EN521 rims using the wheelpro guide earlier this year and got someone else off the forum to check them. I have had no problems with them since building them.

My email is in my profile if you need a shot of a wheel truing stand or a spoke tension meter.
