Anyone had any experience locally, good or bad for having a rear wheel rebuilt using my existing rim and new hub? Cheers.
Merlin cycles? Had plenty of well built wheels from them over the years. Not sure if they would do a one off job.
Hewitt, in Leyland. Mainly a roadie builder but he will do mtb too. Good builds.
Had a pair built by Winstanleys recently. Very pleased with the results and price was reasonable as always.
Graham at sixth element wheels. Based in urmston, Manchester.
Had two sets of wheels (road and mtb) built up with my own hubs and rims by Paul Hewitt and they've been solid.
It's been a couple of years since my last set, but I've previously found Merlin custom builds to be good value and a well-built wheel. I know they've built wheels around customer supplied hubs. Whether they'd do a build around a customer supplied rim is another matter - it's not uncommon for wheel builders to get a bit sniffy about customer supplied rims, especially ones that have previously been used. Starting with a new rim which is at least nominally circular and straight generally makes for an easier build...
Thanks for the info guys, will check them out...
