In the process of a new build and am looking for somewhere that will build some custom wheels, using Halo Excite R rims / spokes plus Hope Pro II hubs. Only place I can find with that combo is CRC, but they are out of the rims.
Anyone know of somewhere else I could try :?:

Nope. Only sell Mavic and DT IIRC0 -
Seems to be the same most places, just Mavic and DT

Try looking on Halo's website / Halo''s UK distributor's website for UK retailers0

Good idea will give that a go0

I know its a pain, I really want a set of Syncros rims on Hope hubs but nowhere seems to offer them as a build 0

Merlin do Stans rims as well. Not that this helps you at all
Try and find a genuine wheelbuilder not just a shop, there are places that'll build whatever you take them or do total custom orders. On the spokes, do make sure you get something that's easy to find replacements for, it's a pain having your bike parked because it takes a month to get 1 spoke! Uncompromising extremist0 -
I think you guys need to find a decent LBS.
Online stuff if fine, and I hear good things about Merlin and CRC builds, but personally when I want wheels built I want the guy I know in my LBS to do it, and not to worry if Online shop's got a YTS kid in or Postman Pat's used the box for football practice.0 -
Merlin built their reputation on their wheels, as have wheelsmith...
I wouldn't use anyone else online. Personally I build my own...0
