Strikey - it's not the end of the world having a x3 wheel and a x4.  It probably would allow him to use the same size spokes, which would benefit you in the future.

But, I would take the others advice and get your stuff outta there.  Do a bit of homework and build them yourself. The information is around, I'd bet on this forum as it happens.  Take your time and you can do no worries   ;)

If you want any information on wheel building etc give me a pm.  I will help whatever way I can.  If Halfrauds keep p*ssing about, get the rims and hubs back, ask for your ££ back (if you have paid) and send them to me, I will do the calculations, get the spokes, build them up and send them back to you. 

All you have to pay is the postage and the cost of the spokes.

Thanks for all the replies, all much appreciated...Stidds you're a diamond mate  :daumenhoch:  If they tits it up once more you'll be getting a call, this is Halfrauds last chance.

Heres an update on the saga...

I spoke to the manager of the cycle dept this morning & told him that i was very unhappy with the situation.
I explained that the rear rim has already been scratched & the guy who was building the wheels is useless..

The manager told me he has already ordered spokes for the wheels in 2 different sizes because of the high & low flanges & is awaiting their arrival. The spokes on order are DT Swiss competition spokes (double butted?) are they era correct for an 82 Team Pro?
The other guy apparently found some spokes which he thought would fit & took it upon himself to start building the wheels  :Aresehole:
The rear wheel which he scratched the rim of is virtually all laced, i was told this morning that the spokes he used are the wrong size so that needs unlacing & relacing with the correct size  :uglystupid2:


To cut a very long story short, basically they have completely cock-a-doodle-doed it up! 

It ended with me telling the manager that i want them laced exactly as they were when they were new, so all the marks on the hubs from the factory building of them are covered.
I want the same lacing pattern as when new, i don't want anymore scratches on the rims, i want the manager himself to build them & i won't be paying anywhere near full price for the spokes or the build.

he assured me that was all fine & as soon as the spokes arrive he would build them & sort everything out.

Can't wait for the outcome now  :LolLolLolLol:
