    Hi All, In case anyone has an old but decent one lying about. My heart is broken with creaks and rattles in my current recently acquired one - the eyelets at the spoke holes at the rim are disintegrating and rattling like bejaysus. Every time I remove one another goes!

    If anyone has anything suitable let me know.

    Currently have an XT hub and previous to this had an LX hub with a mavic rim that gave up the ghost. Still have the hub if anyone wants to recommend a good wheelbuilder to acquire a rim and build me a good strong wheel either.

    Lads in apex cycles (Kildare somewhere), humphries cycles(finglas) are always generally recommended for wheel building. Darragh in bee cycles too. He's around dolphins barn

    I think cyclezone in Blanchardstown had a good rep for it too.

    Lukasz in Apex Cycles in Kildare town is a good guy. He's built 2 sets of road wheels for me and I've had friends buy from him on my recommendation and they are both happy with him.
