Wheel building

konaman1 · Jan 29, 2011

Can anyone recommend me a good wheel builder in the sussex area?

l need a new rim fitted on my rear wheel which l'll supply.

Any ideas how much it would cost?

Cheers.

I've read on this forum that Martin at my local LBS (City Cycles in Chichester) is something of an expert wheel builder. However, I've never asked him to build a wheel for me, so I've no personal experience.

Chichester might be a bit too far away from you though...

Used to live in Chi and Martin is a cracking wheel builder. Moved to Horsham now and can highly recomend Andy at AD cycles, he's build me 3 sets of wheels now and is happy for you to supply rims and hubs and builds with Sapim spokes.

i've heard Baker Street is pretty good, although never had a wheel built anywhere in my life to be honest. but they are my second go to after G-Whizz

p.s. you interested in a meet/ride at Stanmer park in the near future? Date TBC...

Never been there for a ride l usually stick to the downs between Hove and Arundel, so l'd be really interested to check it out.
