Can anyone recommend places in the uk (prefably in/near the south) that would relace a wheel for me, got all the parts, but I don't want to mess it up, I don't have the proper equipment and I want it done properly, cheers in advanced
Not sure about there...most shops should be able to. I decided to give it a try myself a few years ago. Bought a truing stand and spoke torque wrench for about $160 or so. I was nervous about screwing it up at first, but it turned out to be not so bad. Now anytime I change a tire or find a loose spoke I'll throw the wheel on the stand and true it up. So, it has turned out to be a very worthwhile investment for me. Get a handle on it, and you can start charging your riding buddies a case of beer to true up their wheels.
I can give you the number of a well recommended guy near Stoke-on-Trent/Stafford if you want. Very reasonable price and an excellent job on my CRF wheel. Mike
