just interested to know from people who have had a wheel rebuilt, by which i mean replacement of all spokes and nipples, and wheel trued, what they have paid.

i'm not interested in what people think it should cost, i'd like to know what people have actually paid. this i for a road wheel. no messing around with hubs etc, just nice and simple spoke, nipple, true......

Having one of my Enve rebuilt currently - "Labour is £45 and spokes come to £62.50 including the internal brass nipples."

Truing £10-15. Maybe a tad more these days.

Spokes at cost, £4 each and up. Lacing up, I dunno. I only buy machine built wheels.

Key is spokes really, a Sapim Race of Laser is a quid or so, a CX-Ray £2.

Buidling with aero spokes like the above ramps the costs up.

Using DT Swiss Competition double butted spokes and nipples, I charge £50.
