    Hi,


    I'm looking to rebuild a wheel, moving from 10 speed to 11 speed hub..
    I have used Cliff in the past but don't know where he is now as Cyleways is closed now. Any idea's?
    Thanks

    humphries have a good rep as wheelbuilders, if you're northside.

    Think someone said he's gone to Specialized Concept Store. Could be wrong there.

    I've used Humphries for my every day wheels. Bombproof over 2 years of heavy use. Darragh at Bee cycles is always recommended too.

    having only recently found out what 'the naul' means as gaeilge, i respectfully suggest that cliff sets up a bike shop there. should be enough passing traffic...

    ....which is why it is simply 'Naul'. To say 'The Naul' is effectively saying 'The the cliff'.

    The two boys from Cycleways moved to the Specialized store, lovely lads and great mechanics.

    Then Cliff left cycleways and is now head mechanic in Harry's, under new ownership and the place is looking lovely

    I've had three sets of wheels built by Expert in Rathfarnham - no issues with any of them!

    Expert - i have an abused igh with pitted cup and cones that is 10+ years old, raced, crashed and god knows what else that is still perfect. I just had them fix the stock wheels on the new bike that appear to have been built on a friday, 30km of sessioning a xc race course and perfect.
