Cheap wheel truing

omri · 2010-04-13 07:56:04

Hi all, Just build set of wheels last week, 36 spokes, track hubs. Looks nice. I don't have truing stand. Unfortunately wheels need more work. Checked 2wheels and I think they charge 12 + 2e per spoke. That's in total 170e... bit pricey or maybe that's how much it costs as it's time consuming? Although for this money I can…

Hi all,

That's in total 170e... bit pricey or maybe that's how much it costs as it's time consuming? Although for this money I can get truing stand and new jersey, obviously it will take me couple of weeks before I'll manage to true any of the wheels.

€170 is far too much.

If you want recommendations, better specify where you are based.

OK, then this is the best value, in my experience.

I'm assuming the EUR2 per spoke is if they have to replace any spokes. Given you've built up these wheels with new spokes I presume it would only be the EUR12 per wheel.

OTOH, lots of people are well happy with Mr. Skeffington's service too...

That is what I presumed too; it is a reasonable fee for truing. +1 on Mr Skeff for that matter.

Gave a call to 2wheels. 12+2e per spoke that's what they say on their website but it's only 12 since they're built already. So I guess much more resonable than 170e.
