Does anyone know of a skilled wheel builder in the NE metro area.

I have the rear hub and rim and need a skilled wheel builder to build it up right.

I live north of Gainesville but will come into the Atl area.

thanks in advance for your help!

I've always heard of Kavochi (sp?) in Atlanta.

No doubt, that dude is legendary.
Ya got pros in cali having him build wheels for them.

Hey Doug,
My new rear singletrack is already eggshaped. :confused:
I did it on the very first ride on it at Sky. Spokes were tight and everything. Last year, I went through 3/4 of the season before replacing one. Oh well.
Got my new brakes on, and new pads for the 'Rock, so I am ready to go.

John Kovachi has built 4 sets of mtb wheels for our family in addition to 3 sets of BMX wheels. Not only is he good at his work, but he stands behind it and offers great follow-up service. You can't go wrong with him.
