Wheel truing recommendations?
November 20, 2011, 05:21:08 pm

My XC bike's rear has gone way out after a couple of weekends pinging off Blacka's rocks.

Who's cheap and good in Sheffield area these days? I used to take them to JE James in Chesterfield but I think the guy who was good there has retired now...

If your stuck for someone to do it give me a call.  Providing its not too badly bent I should be able to sort it out!

Cheers Tom - it's actually in a bit of a state now. If I'd have got it fixed last week instead of riding on it again this weekend it might not have been too bad !

I took mine to Decathlon as they are half the price of everywhere else, and I figured it isn't too technical. Can't say they were brilliantly 'trued'    :thumbsdown:

I've heard Langsett are okay.
