Good wheelbuilder in Renton/Seattle?
I noticed my wheels (700c disc commuter/touring wheels) are pretty far out of true with several spokes that aren't very tight. I'd like a good wheel guy to spend some time truing and tensioning them. Any recommendations? Renton area would be even better.

R&E Cycle in the U District used to have a couple of good wheel builders. There was also one on Roosevelt Way about NE 70th that was an awesome builder, can't remember the name of the shop though, sorry

Perfect Wheels is the place on 70th & Roosevelt.

"Perfect Wheels"... I like the sound of that!
|
I called Larry Naylor at Perfect Wheels and it sounds like he will true and tension... price seemed reasonable, even to a stingy Nashbar-shopping Missourian...

Mountain Bike Outfitters on Central Ave in Kent (take 516 exit off hwy 167).
The owner Gary built me a great set of Velocity Deep Vs for my commuter. I've got over 2000 miles and have barely needed a truing. He loves hearing about word of mouth referrals and might cut you a deal if you mention a happy customer sent you. |
another vote for Larry at PERFECT WHEELS.

I had the wheels trued and tensioned by Larry at Perfect Wheels; a co-worker lives nearby, so he dropped 'em off for me. It's nice to think that they were worked on by a skilled wheelbuilder rather than some random nosepicker... no offense to nosepickers... I thought the price was very reasonable, too. So far, they have held up pretty good, it's hard to tell trueness on a disc wheel.
I was also able to get some brake boss plugs that I had been having a real hard time finding. So thumbs up to Larry! |
