    Can anyone recommend a good wheel builder, preferably in the London area. I want someone who can do unusual spoking, not just your standard 3X.

    I’m a wheelbuilder based in
    I’m a wheelbuilder based in Southampton. My site is still in its infancy but I have a lot of ideas. I’ve got an order for some good race wheels that might interest:
    Campag record hubs
    Sapim CX-Ray aero-spokes
    Mavic CXP33 rims

    The pair weigh a whisker over 1.5kg.

    They would be lighter still if I used some ambrosio tubs, (under the 1.5kg mark). A big advantage with them is that they are 32 spokes/wheel making them easy to true and helps to keep them stiff. The CXP33 is a high performing deep section rim too which will improve aero-dynamics and stiffness. The CX-Ray spokes are the best money can buy.

    The pair have not been fully costed but probably something in the region of £400 which makes them very competitively priced.

    I also have some Rigida Chrina rims built onto some Miche Racing box hubs, they are only £165pr if you want something more economical. They come in at 2.1kg and are also 32 spokes/wheel – sapim race double butted spokes this time.

    those chaps at Tour de Ville
    those chaps at Tour de Ville will build you a nice looking wheel. They’ve got one on their blog that they call a ‘radial crow’s foot’, looks interesting…
