Wheel builder recommendation

bren_mc

I snapped a spoke on my rear wheel this evening. They're pro lite bracciano like these ones

Having looked on YouTube and google, prolite seem to make a big deal of the fact that the spokes are very highly tensioned and for that reason repair should only be done by a competent wheel builder. Their YouTube video says all spokes should be de-tensioned before the replacement spoke is installed. So, just wondering if anyone on here could recommend a wheel builder (preferably near Drogheda)

have you tried the lads in quay cycles? Are you stuck for a wheel?

Haven't tried anywhere yet Lenny - they'd be good for this then?

Have another pair I can use at the weekend, but these are my good ones so want get them sorted for Charleville next weekend.

never tried them myself. Ask wav 1. If you are stuck I can give you an rs80 c24 for charleville, which is a nice race clincher.

Thanks Lenny. I'll take you up on that if I'm stuck but hopefully I'll be sorted before then.

On the advice of a couple of lads in here in work, i took it over to Cliff in 2wheels (used to be eurocycles) this morning. He had it sorted in about 10 minutes. Top bloke. Really knows his stuff. I will certainly be back there for any future repairs / servicing.

I'd have recommended Cliff to you myself,only you asked for a wheel builder in Drogheda.The Enve's on Chris King hubs he builds are a thing of beauty.
