Wheel building costs .... What do you expect to pay?

[letmetalktomark]

Is £30 per wheel labour + spokes expensive?

Is used to think that was the going rate..... until I found slam69 in Gloucester - owned by Graham Foot.

They are cheaper - give them a call

My last set cost £25 p/h + spokes but i did get some free velox rim tape!

 

[letmetalktomark]

£15 labour seems vey reasonable.

Are they well built?

 

[g_baz]

Ooops wrong reply £15 is a pretty dam good price!

 

[bluedazzler]

between £25-£30 labour charge is acceptable, if they're well built

I charge £45 an hour but Danish rates are a bit different and that's cheap for my market with 25% VAT.

But if people are buying expensive hubs, spokes and rims from me, I've been known to waive the labour altogether to pricematch the likes of Merlin.

I charge £30 for spokes and building charge with silver aci's and £42.50 spokes and build with black dt's.

Interesting topic this..

I'm assuming around £60-100 to build a pair of wheels if I were to supply rims + hubs???

does it make any difference to the price if they're 28/32/36h ??
