    Joe Daly's in Dundrum
    Hollingsworth Cycles in Templeogue/Stillorgan
    Cycle Inn in Tallaght

    All good for wheel work - I've used all of them in the past. Daly's do the work themselves, the others send them out to a builder AFAIK - Probably the same person too.

    Just a word of warning about Hollingsworth in Stillorgan. They replaced a rim and spokes on my bike 6 weeks ago. 2 weeks ago I had to return the bike as 2 of the spokes had broken and a lot more had come loose and the rim had gone off true. They replaced the spokes and re-trued the wheel. Yesterday while cycling home one of the new spokes broke. On further inspection 5 of the spokes had come loose too.

    Hollingsworth Templogue is a fine bike shop, but not his brothers place in Stillorgan. I would have thought after nearly 10 years someone in that place would have learned how to build a wheel by now but clearly not. ..
    Avoid this shop!
