Morning all,
I need to get some wheels rebuilt, I have the rims and hubs but decided to leave the lacing up to a pro.
Have quotes ranging from £70 to >£300, from some searching the former is really what I might have expected > 10 years ago, and for a rim brake build, rather than a disc brake build, which I imagine is slightly trickier to do right. The cheapest builder is also the most local however, which would be nice as it means I can skip courier fees.
Is it a case of "if it works it works", or am I going to get issues down the line that a more expensive builder would avoid? I can give the name of the cheapest builder if necessary.
Cheers
