Wheelbuilder in Los Angeles
Anybody have a recommendation for a wheelbuilder in LA, particularly in the Hollywood/Westside or Burbank area?
I have an old steel rim and an old SS coaster brake hub I want put together for a forty year old Raleigh, so I don't need a high end performance type builder.
Just someone competent.

I remember the wheel builder at this shop was super duper experienced competent. Ask him anything, he knows the answer, haha, I love those people.
