Hubs: £25ish??
Rims: £30ish??
Spokes: £ no idea, never bought them before....
I could true and centre them for you if you want to save the £10-20 at the LBS.twain":uew28wb4 said:going to attempt to lace them up myself (then give to a LBS to true/dish as appropriate).
This site http://leonard.io/edd/ is fairly reliable. As Andy suggested though, those M555 hubs aren't featured there. I never liked the look of them myself, but I suppose they must work otherwise Big S wouldn't have put them out.twain":uew28wb4 said:about the spokes - i guess a visit to sheldon brown would be in order. but if there is a quick easy method to determine what i need, then i'm all for hearing that.....of course i know i need to match hub/rim holes, so i guess thatas why starting with hub and rim first makes sense....
Old Kit":nwi220zf said:To A_Venables, Hi I know a good man but he is in Bilston just your side of Wolverhampton. He used to build the top end wheels for Saracen, Marin and Whyte bikes when they first started. He's pretty much retired now but can be persuaded to do the odd job now and again.
He still builds Bromptons wheels I believe.
PM me if interested and I'll give him a call.
Cheers Kit
