Anyone know a good wheelbuilder on the northside or in near north burbs. even downtown could work.
My brother rides 15 miles rt to work. he was breaking spokes a lot so I had yellow jersey in madison build him a wheel. lasted 2 years but spokes are starting to break again. not sure what special abuse he uses to accomplish this bc it's a 40 spoke hub and dyad rim but it's time for a rebuild. anyone know a good builder?
Thanks!

Well, there's me...
But really any good shop can do it for you.
A wheel is dead after 3 broken spokes in my opinion; with 5 broken spokes they should have told him it was time for a new wheel. Come into Johnny Sprockets and I can take a look at it and see what we can do for him.
Mostly the south shop but I am in andersonville some days.

You're at Johnny Sprockets now? Which one?
I've used the Pony Shop in Evanston a few times (close to Dempster purple line stop). They do excellent work. Been very satisfied with the quality of their wheels.
There is PSIMet, I have a good friend who got some wheels built by him and love them. Plus he is well known in there area and a great guy. Had a chance to bounce questions off him at a swap meet a few months back.
Plus he is in Elgin, so NW burbs.
