AW Cycles are OK. You've got to give them the nod like you know about bikes though.

I wouldn't recommend Mountain Trax, I had a wheel built there spoke came loose within a couple months and the wheel now is less than straight. Given it's a heavy duty rim it's pretty disappointing. It may well have been a one off though.

+1 for A W Cycles.

Dont go to Mountain Trax. They built a wheel for me once and it was dished about 30mm too much to one side and had to take it back to be redone. Thought that was it fixed but spokes came loose with result wheel didnt run straight.
