rebuild will cost me $80 labor + ~ $1.50 per spoke+nips. Got 24 so about $116 pre tax? Aesthetics im not concerned about too much. Although I could sell off my white industries hubs (i think they are the MI5) and just go with something lesser. Could probably get some cash back from that.
Read sheldon browns article on wheelbuilding and do it yourself IMO. For $36 you get a like new wheel and a new skill.
