Best wheel builder in Gauteng?

[GaryvdM]

3 broken spokes on the last 2 rides, so I need a wheel rebuilt. I am of the understanding that the skill of the wheel builder has a big effect on the strength of the finished wheel. Who do you think is the best wheel builder in Gauteng?

 

Some recommendations I have read/heard:

Nevil @ Lynden cycles

Anton @ Summit cycles

Spoke and spanner

I have used Anton @ Summit cycles for both my wheel sets.

There are other good ones, but you need look no further. It WILL be right.

 

(Although he often gets his appy, the Sherriff, to do the hard work.)

I only know the Summit Cycle guy.

 

He built me a wheel set and it was super good!

Another vote for Ruan @ Spokeworks in Pta.

George at Mean Machine in Germiston. Was rated as tops by old pros like AVH and the like

Ive had a wheel recently rebuilt by Cycloworx in Petervale - cycloworx.co.za. Excellent service, great job and didn't cost a fortune. Give them a go.

Dave Marshall - spoke and spanner.

Built one wheelset for me previously and is going to be building my new DJ wheelset too.

How much do builders generally charge per wheel?

 

Think I need to start charging my friends...

I can recommend Neville at Linden Cycles.. make sure you get him, no one else!

Jason Geldenhuys at Int. Trade

 

They are the agents for some of the best hubs and rims so you get your wheels at a reasonable price.
