Good Wheelbuilder?

Merrie G

I've finally taken the plunge and decided to build a fixie as a project over the summer. I've ordered a new Surly Steamroller frame from wiggle and some shiny new Phil hubs from HubJub.

Question is does anyone know a good wheelbuilder in the Wakefield/Leeds/York area? Original plan was to build the wheels myself but the thought of risking œ225 worth of hubs made me bottle it. Any recommendations gratefully received.

Thanks. G.

Merrie G,

Go for it and get the wheel builder to true them up if it all goes pear shape so to speak...

Bob Jackson made good wheels. Mine is still true after 2yrs! And from your location, you can always drop in for a tune up after they bed in.

Cycle Heaven in York have a guy that builds good wheels. He knows his stuff - finds out what sort of riding you do and advises you on what components to choose. Guarantees them and will fix/true them if necessary (never has been for me). Recommended.

Spa Cycles in Harrogate will also build wheels to order I believe.

Paul Hewitt in Leyland - he builds the wheels for Hubjub too - I know it's the wrong side of the Pennines!
