Fuzzy at Bicycle revolutions at 4th and bainbridge makes amazingly built wheels. I ride mine hard each and every day. They are still perfectly true, and im not the only one who says so. The only problem is there is a long wait to get your wheels done because he is making sooooo many. But if you need a strong wheel that will never come untrue theyre the way to go.

If you go with fuzzy it could be as long as 2 months to get it finished. But i bought the rims and spokes from him and got the whole wheelbuild done. It costed me about 230 and that price included the price of spokes and rims. But i believe that it was worth every penny and every day i waited because i now have these bombproof wheels that i ride every day as a messenger, and i ride them real hard, and they still spin true
