Wheel builders. I'm beginning to hate them

[tintin40]

I have a Hugi yellow hub, Mavic 717 rim a bag of 50 alloy nips and i'm told the correct length DT Revolution spokes

I go to cyclesurgy keep every for 2 weeks then say it will be ready. i go to collect completed wheel still in pieces so i take the parts to my local and wait no connection for 2 weeks. so go to two more shops
quoted £50 then £40
So go to my ex local shop say £25 ready with in the week

I collect completed wheel BUT they haven't used my DT's but cheaper DT and for some reason i have 26 alloy nips left when i should have 18??
I still have my Revolution spokes
What am i doing wrong? I'm i being to nice?
I will be ringing them up ASAP and asking why they didn't use my spokes etc
I want to kill some one :evil:

post them to me tony £15 and 3 days later plus postage you'll have your wheel in the nuts of a tru and perfect state


i pride myself on the fact that all the wheels i build are built with great care and attention to detail and every spoke is equal in tenstion and i dont do fubars

You know Dan i thought of you. But finding the correct box was a nightmare. So have to see what the shop says when i get back to them.
Their may yet be death in North London :twisted:

No need for a box , use two large bits of cardboard that are large enough to meet at the ends , think ravioli rims turn up at the shop like this and I've bought a few rims from the bay that have been sent the same and there hasn't been a problem , just make sure it's clear that nothing should be put on top of it in the delivery guys van .

is it really that simple though?

Yes, if you're good. No, if you're not.
