This topic has, I’m sure, been covered a few times. A quick search didn’t find the answer I’m after - feel free to link, a not too old, thread if I missed it.
im looking for wheel builder recommendations. Specifically someone who’ll replace a rim on a fulcrum zero. I had someone warp a spoke on a shamal ultra some years ago that use similar bladed alu spokes so preferably a recommendation for someone who can deal with these specific set ups, if anyones had similar work done. I have a rim ready to go.

what part of the world?
if you're on the northside of dublin, humphries have a good reputation.
IIRC lukasz (sp?) in apex cycles also has a good reputation.

This. Otherwise Cliff (whereever he is), Humphries, or Dara in Bee cycles.

We send all our wheel rebuilds from work to Humphries, including modern wheels of my own.
I'm quite happy doing old stuff for myself, but I leave the modern stuff to them.

I can’t recommend Lucasz highly enough - not just for his wheelbuilding / wheel repair quality but also for being so helpful and accommodating
