Spokes were R14.56 per spoke and nipples were R1.80.
Hmm so thats 960+128+600
Makes it R1688.00 for wheelset build, spose its not bad as i got the rims for 500 for both
So like R2188.00 for not a bad cheap wheelset build :thumbup:

I don't think JB is around. Someone said he was out of the country???

PM 4barlinkage. He has done many builds including some guys here on the Hub. Oh, him and JB know each other well too. ;)
I love to ride fast. That is why I hate uphills.

JB is back on Monday 13th. He does have someone working for him while he is away (Dave). He built set of DH wheels for me recently and the build seems great.
Now open your mouth and lets have a look at that brain.

Forgot the hubz out ,more like R3500+ ..  starting to get pricey <_<
Starting to think i should just buy a wheelset..
Any recommendations on a bombproof, wide AM/DH wheelset @ a good price ? :rolleyes:

Agreed 100%, I don't ever talk to him, I just wanna give him a PK.

Because of him I've never taken the bait on a Cruz... every time i've had the urge. he just happened to be the only oke in the shop...

They should send him to work at Cajee's or the Post Office
