Help needed. Need a recommendation for someone to replace nipples on my carbon mtb rims and straighten them

[Izak de Vries]

Good day

I have carbon mtb rims, but I am losing a nipple every now and a then. Local guy replaced broken nipples, but keeps on breaking and my wheels need straightening. 
 

Can anyone recommend someone to assist me please?

Thanks in advance

I guess you already know this, your LBS may a be a good place to start. Ask them break down of cost and compare with one or 2 other reputable workshops close by

I'd be happy to help.

If your nipples are breaking, your spokes are too short.

If you've broken more than 2 spokes on the same wheel, your spokes all need replacing because they're fatigued and will all eventually break.

What rims do you have?

You're welcome to PM me or shoot me a WhatsApp on 083 452 871 six.

Cost is much less important than competency.

I'm expensive because you don't pay me for time but for experience and expertise.

To rebuild a wheel I charge R850, excluding parts.
Good quality double butted spokes cost around R30 each, including nipples.

And I'm in George, so factor in courier costs if you'd like to send me your wheel 🤑
