Title: Anyone know a good wheel builder in west yorks
Post by: losidan on December 28, 2008, 09:43 PM
I've rang round most of the cycle shops in my area asking for a pair of 48 spokers rebuilding. As soon as I say the letter B...M....X they just dont want to know for some reason.


Thanks Ahead

I have some mates who run Fulford Bikes in York, they build most of my wheels.

Maybe a bit to far out for you, although Dirk Diggler is in Keighley, maybe give him a shout  :daumenhoch:

Theres always Alans or Cyclesport. Both are good. Alans aint to long a drive from Bratford
and Cyclesport do a good fast turnaround with mail order.

I use a bike shop in Tadcaster. Very useful but not the cheapest.

STIF building BMX wheels! That would be a first.

They told me they would build 24'' MTB 4X wheels but not wheels for a 24'' BMX    :Aresehole:

Still they do have some VERY nice MTB's in there to make you're mouth water!  ;D
