Aluminium wheel rims refurbed

   Hi Everyone, I’m thinking about having my bikes Akront Aluminium
wheel rims refurbed and respoked with stainless spokes as they are well past their
best.  Anyone have any recommendations
who they have used and would recommend?

	The obvious one is Central Wheels at Coleshill, but they are quite expensive. I used them several years ago for a Triton I was building. I couldn't fault their work. https://www.bing.com/search?form=MOZCON&pc=MOZD&q=Central+Wheels Edited by Dave P. - 15 Nov 2020 at 13:22

	Yes, I've used Central Wheels a number of times and been happy with both their materials and work. I have heard others complain but no idea why.

	I’ve not used them, but I have heard some great reports about them. I’ll certainly consider them next time. http://www.williswheels.co.uk/ Willis Wheel Builders Office (01992) 611250 Workshop 07757 120940 Epping Essex

	+1 for Central Wheels. I had a Norton rear wheel re-laced and was happy with the price and service.
