I was thinking wheelbuilding pricing. Oops.

I am thinking Mavic Open Pro. Now, being that I


cannot find any Open Pro pre-built wheelsets (online or LBS) I'm
wondering if I should just get the Open Pro rims and have a local spoke
them or ..... what?


Open Pros are great, you can get machine built wheels on line. with
them, but they're still gonna need to be finished by a pro.

You don't need a pro. All you need is a $20 book and a little reading
comprehension, and a spoke wrench, and maybe some leather work gloves.


And a truing stand...


You definitely don't need a truing stand.
