Not used him myself as I build my own, but heard good things about him from those who have used him.

Spokesman wheels is superb I had a set of road disk wheels built nearly 3 years ago and they are still perfect. Bearings running sweet and true after over 10,000 miles of Devon worst potholes and debris. Great guy as well.

Chaz at roots cycle works in exmouth is also top notch.

He is an ex World Cup mechanic and currently spanners for the wideopen team.

Good value too.

Just popped down to spokesman wheels and was really impressed. Really nice chap and he did the job there and then with great advice. Would definitely recommend!

spokesman.co.uk - I have some H Plus Son Archetypes on Novatechs from him, haven't needed truing in nearly 2 years and I am a clumsy fat sod.

He also sorted an issue with the order (I'd ordered disk hubs, the delivered ones weren't) very very quickly - it's when there's a problem you see where great service is. Very good advice on his site and by mail, and great comms on delivery etc. though I dare say you could nip over and pick them up.

EDIT: Just saw you've already been 😳

Yet another vote for Spokesman. I've given my wheels a real battering and they're still perfectly true.
