    Hi Bungalow.

    Cannot recommend any business in S E Qld.

    But! They are not really that hard to do yourself if you have patience and perserverance.

    Recently respoked/laced my softail standards front hub onto a wider rim. With stainless spokes and nipples.

    Pretty chuffed with how it all worked out and rather enjoyed the challenge. Much more so than paying some stranger 100 odd bucks an hour to do it .

    You can buy a spoke wrench for not much on ebay. And there is plently of info out there about how to do it, there is no magic involved.

    Cheers

    Been quoted 250 per rim to supply stainless. Dont know if that is reasonable. Not confident of doing it myself tho

    Is $250 per rim for just the spokes and nipples?

    Or $250 per rim to lace up with the new stainless spokes and nipples? (like all up)

    If it's the latter, then that sounds quite reasonable.
