$10 labour for a wheel build, sounds good whem i ****ed up my wheel snaping a load of spokes and whipping the rim. It cost me £25 (thats like $45) to get the whiped rim fixed and the wheel re-built with a new set of spokes. That included parts, after oyu take in to account the price of spokes i do not think it is much more expensive then what you paid, and a year and a halflatter the wheel is just fine.

I got a few bike shops in my area, the 1 i go to is quite good, although a lack of choice. theres another good shope but its not in the middle of town so i cant really get there hence i dont use it much.

Anyway, any expensive components i buy off ebay, cycling clothes i buy from other bike shops as this 1 has ppor selction for cycling clothes. Although i must point out i recently bought some new cycling shoes and a hope mini mono disck brake from there.

and oyu know what i dont know why im posting this, as if some 1 actuly wants to here about some bike shop they dont know of and never will
