Can anybody recommend me a wire/spoked wheel builder or overhauler? , I've found a few in manchester but don't know if they are any good or not as I want to at some point in the future replace the spokes for heavy duty spokes on a hypothetical bike.

Or would it probably be maybe be cheaper to just buy a complete new wheel?.

Also anybody who seals up wheels for use with tubeless tyres also , in that the guy I know who did this has retired and it makes sense to use tubeless on the sealed roads bits and change to tubed on the off road bits.

Anythoughts?

Thanks.

Are tubes really such an issue for on road?

While we're on the subject, being lazy, anyone got an idea of how much it'd cost to get a rim undented on a spoked wheel?
