FanieFiets Posted January 12, 2010 Posted January 12, 2010 I had my backwheel respoke due to an unfortuneate accident. 28 spokes, DT Swiss D/b 293. Cost was R 476-00. What do you think?
splat Posted January 12, 2010 Posted January 12, 2010 I reckon that's a good price.I hope they did a good job of it though...
FanieFiets Posted January 12, 2010 Author Posted January 12, 2010 all costs included. labour, spokes and they clean the filthy thing for my. Good job? time will tell. but thus far I am happy with the service. Had one spoke replaced last week and 6 km into my ride this weekend a different spoke popped. That after I asked the guy if he was SURE that the other spokes are not damaged as well. Bit PO'd at waking up at 05:15 for 6 km. FanieFiets2010-01-12 09:43:27
Christopher Brunsdon Posted January 12, 2010 Posted January 12, 2010 Sorry but 2 spokes going sounds not good. Not like you weigh 200kg. Where is the yellow saddle man to give some life to this thread.
Gman1834 Posted January 12, 2010 Posted January 12, 2010 That is not a bad price. Really hope the job is done right. Had a wheel that was rebuild by LBS and kept on breaking spokes then I took it to Mr Yellow saddle (JB) and he sorted out the wheel, he had to rebuild the whole wheel with new spokes. Now my wheel is super not a problem since Argus 2009.
FanieFiets Posted January 13, 2010 Author Posted January 13, 2010 Mr. Yellow Saddle built the wheel for me and I was very happy, but my chain dropped between my cassette at high speed. Almost all the spokes on the one side got damaged. Hope everything is sorted now. Glad that I wasnt overcharged, would like to stick to one bike shop.
2 X 2 Posted January 13, 2010 Posted January 13, 2010 Wanted to respoke the tandem wheels with those flat spokes, but at +/- R30.00 per spoke times 42 spokes per wheel, it was just to expensive
FanieFiets Posted January 13, 2010 Author Posted January 13, 2010 So wie het die wiel vir jou ge"respoke"? cyclelab. Hulle is 300 meter van my werk af en gedink ek kan hulle 'n kans gee. Wou die prys check aangesien mense altyd kla hulle is duur. Toe nie. Diens was vinnig en hulle was baie vriendelik. FanieFiets2010-01-13 03:49:18
Reg Lizard Posted January 13, 2010 Posted January 13, 2010 Thanks, goed om te weet. Ek het nou die dag daar ingepop en van hulle pryse is heel billik. Ek dink hulle sal goed doen daar as hulle die pryse reg hou. Een van my maatjies saam met wie ek Saterdag gery het praat ook net goed van hulle.
Wonder Woman Posted January 14, 2010 Posted January 14, 2010 Pity you aren't in JHB....would have got a lot cheaper by us
