Perth: Good Wheelbuilder
Anyone in Perth know of a good wheelbuilder? I have had less than
satisfactory wheels built at one BS (which shall remain nameless) and I'm looking for alternatives. I know some of you are going to suggest that I build my own wheels...I will one day but for now I need to have a new pair made and need an experienced mechanic. Thanks |

Re: Perth: Good Wheelbuilder
Go to Port Kennedy Cycles and ask for Michael. He will build you a very
good wheel. I had PKC build me some wheels for my recumbent Trike back in 2001. I still have not had any trouble with it. My road bike wheels have also been built there with no probs what so ever. Cheers Rob |

If you dont want to travel 50k's to get your wheel built  , Quantum Bicycles will build you a kickass wheel. It isnt a bike shop as such, but a frame builder who makes great wheels to boot. It located just up farmer st, of the corner of angove, charles and SBR in North Perth.

I was in there today, they service both my bikes, one of which is a contarino =) Definitely a vote for quantum. till |
