I take mine to me local bike shop, they're not cheap at £20 per wheel, but they run so true.

thanks Danos :daumenhoch: . I have a feeling the spoke size on the ones I want doing won't be standard . :-\

I would do them for free Carl but, by the time you have posted them to me, and I post them back, it would work out the same as taking them to your local.
If you lace the wheels prior, some shops will only charge to true them, about £10 each :daumenhoch:

I do my own, very theraputic

Thanks Terry , and Nick.
Tbh ... I'm not even sure what spoke lengths are needed for them .
And I wanted the front radial laced . Don't think the local bike show will have a clue .

I find it therapeutic too..
Found this link very helpful showing how it's done..
Too true the wheels I fit them obviously without the tyres then use the brake blocks as my guide too true..

Speak to Steve69 about the spoke lengths you need. He built a few of Adam's wheels radial lace, using Sheriff Stars :daumenhoch:

Now if only somewhere on this site we had a spoke length walkthrough and wheel building walkthrough :uglystupid2:

Does Joff's mate still do custom size spokes as mentioned here?

;D tbh it's about time I tried building my own.

I've tried a few times. The system works, but I must start off wrong, as the spokes always end up crossing by the valve hole. Unfortunately I only discover this after lacing the whole wheel. Scratched a few rims taking the spokes out, so just leave it to the bike shop now. The same with chains. Wrestled for over an hour putting a chain on once... Never again!
-
Would always have a go myself before paying someone. Those ace rims I did were my first lacing attempt and it was easy following the guide on here. Truing took a little time but it's a logical process and satisfying when you get it done :daumenhoch:
