    Hi there,

    I have a carbon rimmed road wheel that I would like to have rebuilt: it has a 8 speed free hub and now have a 10 speed bike. I have pretty much sourced a new hub and cassette. I just need someone to rebuild the wheel. Can anybody recommend anywhere in Dublin.

    Thanks, Chris

    Mr Skeffington

    Or Humphries in Finglas.

    Or Cliff in Eurocycles.

    I believe so. Eurocycles and Eurobaby. My buggy wheel is a bit creaky at the moment, I might take it in to Cliff for a tune up. ;)

    You could also try James O'Carroll of OC Tuning - http://www.octuning.ie/ . He's in the KCR industrial estate. He's specializes in mountain bikes, but also builds road wheels - mainly Zipps - for the larger bike shops.

    Cliff is still there, but I believe it's called 2 Wheels these days.

    Mr Skeffington no longer does repair work (or certainly wasn't last time I spoke to him). Humphries Cycles in Finglas still do wheelbuilding, and still have an excellent reputation for doing so
