Wheel trueing in Cape Town?

[ianct]

Who is currently recommended for wheel trueing in the Cape Town or south peninsula area? I know all mechanics do this to a degree but ideally looking for someone who can check spoke tension properly with the right spoke meter and do a quality job on some carbon road wheels. Much appreciated.

Great experience at CEcycles with an IDT issue and have seen others recommending them for other bike maintenance too ... so definitely worth considering if Tokai is convenient. 

Stoke Suspension in Woodstock is a good option too.

And while not in the south, Knipe Racing and Williams Bike Shop always get mentioned in maintenance/wheel threads.

Nick the wheel builder is now in Capetown, he is on the hub, he is a hands on Guy and will do a proper job.

Nick's in Cape Town? I thought he was in Wilderness? He's built wheels for me before...

My bad, assumption - just not in Gaunteng anymore, when I heard cape, I assumed Cape town?

He's awesome and I would unreservedly use Nick for any rebuilds or or new builds, just isn't really worth time and shipping one wheel for a slight trueing.
