    You could try www.beecycles.net. The owner is a regular poster here and has built wheels for a couple of boardsies.

    I have used four wheelbuilders in Dublin, including several of the most popular ones.

    The best results were from Mr Skeffington (now retired, I think) and Holyboy (Bee Cycles). The others I would probably not go back to.

    Are you sure? I saw the girls lacing wheels up there in Finglas and thought Jimmy or one of the sons finished them? I have a pair of wheels from there and always thought they were built there. Does Steve Flynn go out to Finglas? Doesn't matter to me either way - just nosey :)

    sorry to bring this thread back up,but i came across it when i was searching for someone to repair my rear wheel(bad buckle and broken spoke)

    justin in cyclezone blanchardstown repaired it efficiently
    if i was stuck he would have done it same day for me
    collected it today and it looks like new
    repaired it for €15
    great service and nice shop too

    thanks to the boardsies who pointed me in the right direction

    The lads in Expert Cycles in Rathfarnham built a wheel for me in October last year.
    Been very pleased with it. No buckles and no broken spokes so far, and I commute on crappy roads each day.
    Before this I had about 5-6 broken spokes with a crappy stock Shimano wheel.
    Won't ever buy a cheap wheel again!!!
