Hi,
I don't know if this is in the correct section or if it is allowed but....
I'm wanting to swap the rims round on my wheels (front to back, back onto front, you get the picture). Around what type of price will a bike shop charge for this? I know all bike shops are different and prices can vary quite a lot, but I was just after a ball park figure to see if it would be worth my while.
Cheers. Gaz

    Assuming it's possible - some rear rims are asymmetric to equalise forces raised by the dishing of the wheel, and of corse the spoke count might be different - I'd take a wild guess at £50-£75.
  • That's great thanks, I thought it might be around the £50+ mark. Luckily the spoke count is the same but I didn't realize some rear rims are asymmetric.
    Once again, cheers
