San Diego Wheel Builders???

[kellyn7]

I'm looking for someone to relace a set a wheels for me. I'm trying to lighten up my Demo by going to Mavic 721's (currently running Mag 30's). I'd relace them myself but I've never done it before and I'm afraid if I do it I'll spend more time trueing the wheels then riding them. Anyone have any recommendations on who I should go to in San Diego???

I'm sure "DHS" can hook you up as well.


Where do you ride?

I second Blacksmith bikes, or if anyone knows where Dan Large is working, he would be my first choice, from what I hear Dan is no longer working at Adams Ave Bikes.

Thanks! Actually Zumwalt's is where I purchased my frame from so I may try that but I do remember hearing about Blacksmith's awhile back too. Thanks again for the info.

As for where I ride, no where really right now. I got one ride on my Demo and then work got crazy and I've been traveling since. I am hoping to get back in the swing of things in next couple weeks and I'm hoping to find people to ride/shuttle with.

I built mine and it was easy. Bought parts at Beyond Bikes and sat in front of TV with beer and was done in a couple of hours. Perfectly true still after many miles.

yup, i can have a set of wheels built pretty quickly. Cisco at my shop used to work at Zipp back in the day of creating carbon wheels. mostly just sat for 15 years building wheels.
you can sit and watch him build a wheel in 22min. we've timed him. wheels still going strong on my brooklyn.
