I went looking around CT for someone to build me wheels locally - turned out to be less hassle and more cost effective to buy the tools and build my own - A lot more fun too - and really not that hard either...It's very freeing - since when I brought my rims and hubs to one guy he asked me why I don't throw them away and buy new pre-built wheels like everyone else. I get to have whatever rim, hub, spoke combo I want...on my terms (or the wheel's)
