This topic has, I’m sure, been covered a few times. A quick search didn’t find the answer I’m after - feel free to link, a not too old, thread if I missed it.
im looking for wheel builder recommendations. Specifically someone who’ll replace a rim on a fulcrum zero. I had someone warp a spoke on a shamal ultra some years ago that use similar bladed alu spokes so preferably a recommendation for someone who can deal with these specific set ups, if anyones had similar work done. I have a rim ready to go.

what part of the world?
if you're on the northside of dublin, humphries have a good reputation.
IIRC lukasz (sp?) in apex cycles also has a good reputation.

Looks like Apex (Kildare) are close by so I’ll give them a shout.

We send all our wheel rebuilds from work to Humphries, including modern wheels of my own.
I'm quite happy doing old stuff for myself, but I leave the modern stuff to them.

I can’t recommend Lucasz highly enough - not just for his wheelbuilding / wheel repair quality but also for being so helpful and accommodating
