Resident wheel builder?

[MartinYorkshire]

Hmm, do we have anyone who is the forums resident wheel builder? I've got some rims which are pretty much fine (I think). Hubs are old/shot and the cones are badly worn.

I'd like new hubs lacing to the rims. LBS wants...£180 to do this inc parts. Considering I can get the XT hubs for £60ish and spokes for £20. That makes the LBS a rather silly option although he's a world class wheel builder apparently.

Anyways, can anyone help?

It really isn't that hard to do yourself, if you're patient.

Everyone who is interested in bikes should be able to build a wheel. If you do, it means you'll never be dependent on a bike shop ever again.
