I’ve previously used cwc for my wheel building but wondering who else have people used? Recommendations?

I've used Hagon, fine but not cheap.
I'll probably use an off road shop next time.

CWC took 6 weeks the one time I used them ☹️
Used Hagon ever since and about 1 week
As said probably an MX or offroad shop would be cheaper if you are just looking for a rim change
I've always been starting from hubs so sent to Hagon but think the last pair I sent for alloy rims and SS spokes were about £750

Cwc took about 6 weeks for mine as well hence why looking elsewhere. The Greeves runs a 20in rim you try buying trials tyres in 20in today!!!!

Sean at Agbrigg chrome platers in Leeds used to have a local guy who built up wheels for him before or after chrome plating. He did a set of RD200 spoked wheels for me a few years back. Might be worth a call.

Done a few myself not that difficult really if you do your homework first, I suppose there is a nack to it though ! Find push bike wheels harder than motorcycle wheels to do hence why your cycle shop guy finds motorcycle wheels easier I would imagine ?
