I need to know who does the best wheel builds in the Langley/Surrey/Coquitlam area. I also need to know how much they charge for spokes, nipples, and labour.

Thanks,
Travis

Overtime won't let you down.

I reckon about 30 for the build (labours spokes nipples).

Lifetime truing included gratuit.

I'm not sure about places in coquitlam, but the build is usually 30, and spokes and nipples are 20.

2004 truvative luftalarm street/dj cranks $100 OBO.
Front XT 9mm hub $45 OBO
Rear Deore hub with great SS set up + 10mm rear axel - $50 OBO
6" hayes roter $10

i would say Overtime, but i've heard the builder there doesnt use thread lock and the spokes comes loose quickly, just heard it once from someone who can be trusted.

My wheel is 6 mths old from OT and it is still fine, the spoke tension seems to be holding up. I should take it in for truing though.

Me.

lol, I have heard Overtime is the best from everyone on this board.

I am also a fan of QBP's Wheelhouse. They are insanely tedious with wheels.

I like my women like I like my Scotch. 15 years old and mixed up with coke.

It's also dead simple to change your username away from copies of other people's.

I can true wheels, but OT does a better job. And it's free.

I second that. I've had three wheelsets built by Overtime. My Mavic 521 set is over 6 years old with flat spots and huge dents, yet the wheel is straight and keeps rolling.

I just got a set of Mavic 321's laced to my hubs for $220.
