Yeah - the thing with that is one or two trips to an LBS for spoke replacement & truing or one trip to a wheel builder costs the same as a new commuter grade wheel that I can beat on for 6months and then replace. I've got no confidence that their services will last that long so don't go.

Learning myself instead, did the first rebuild 200mi ago and seems ok so we'll see...
