Spoked wheel rim suppliers and wheel builders

Featured Replies

I'm possibly after a couple of WM2 style rims for my SR400. Are there any good stockists, or will I need to import? I'm not interested in cheap Taiwanese rubbish - they need to be half decent. Also are competent wheel-builders easy to find? I see plenty of mechanic workshops with wheel-building jigs, but I'm guessing a lot of what they do is true-ing wheels? So I'd also be looking to buy spokes too.

I know of a few big bike shops like K-Speed, but I'm guessing spoked wheels aren't quite so popular these days.

Thanks!

Not familiar with the rims you seek (WM2=1.85"?),

but I've had hole-in-wall shops lace up new rims to my hubs before, no prob.

Now if I could just find a source for stainless steel spokes....

Racing Boy. On Facebook as racingboy.th - they are an awesome local supplier. Just message them with the size you need. English speakers. Not all products are advertised, so be sure to ask. :)

this vendor on Ebay always has good deals on alloy rims and I bought a set for my Enfield. I now wish I had bought more

Buchannans in the USA is great for custom spokes. I bought the heaver guage SS

I drop shipped the rims to Buchananns to insure that the spokes would fit the rim/hub combo

Any competent (the key word) local shop can lace the wheel

I also bought an Outex kit from Riders Club in BKK to run tubeless tires on a spoked rim

5000 B for 2 x 17" rims

Racing boy are cheaper than the above. Pretty decent quality too!

+1 For Racing Boy, Both me and a mate have them on our SR400's and they have been ok. We run on some terrible roads and to date no pothole has upset them.
