Second this. Jude is the best!! I decided in 2011 to begin building my own wheels. After frustrating visits to various other outlets trying to gain some advice about components, etc., I found Jude through a friend. She spent 30 minutes with me explaining the various options and steered me in a direction totally different from where I was headed. I ended up building my own set of wheels, and she inspected them twice for me to make sure I was on the right track. They turned out great, and being a Clydesdale wheels are a challenge for me. Following that, she's built two additional sets for me for my road bikes, and I'm about to order another set for my cross bike.

I like to just drop in and visit with her occasionally to buy some tires or other parts from her, because I always learn something from her and she's always so damn pleasant to talk to.

The wheels she built for my Cycle Oregon trip last year were bombproof.
