XT 600 Wheel rebuild
 
Does anyone know who rebuilds (new spokes and nipples) wheels for a good price and quick time? Got a quote off Hagon Shocks for 120 pounds a wheel (not the worst price) but it was to take 7 weeks. Cant have that, I commute. Also, it would seem you cant get stainless steel spokes with steel nipples, only brass ones. But Galv spokes can have steel nipples. I'm after all steel, is this possible/advisable?

You can always buy their spokes and nipples and do the work yourself if you're in a hurry...

You can also get the spokes and nipples from Buchanan's Spoke & Rim, Inc
From Buchanan I assure you you can get the stainless spokes and nipples!

Plus, you can also get a pair of new rims if you want from ebay UK for around 120£

Got mine done by a bloke in Whaley Bridge, Derbyshire. 9 gauge spokes rear, 8 front, steel nipples. He did a good job, £90 from memory. I would recomend him. Can dig out his details and e-mail them to you if you like.
