So I've broken two spokes in under a month. Apparently the last guy who built my wheel did a not-so-stellar job. I'm not big guy so I don't know what the deal is...

I need to find someone who has a solid wheel building background and can do it with a pretty quick turn-around (under 2-3 days).

Any suggestions?

I know this guy in West Seattle, he owns a bike shop or something.

I'll do it for $30, I don't work at a shop, but if you get me the hub, rim, spokes, and nipples, I can git 'r dun in a day or two. I've built up 40 or 50 wheels in my day (worked in shops for 6 years), and they hold up well under my heavy, jumpin' ass.

Let me know,

I can do it too, but I would default to Denny since we are all trying to find him odd jobs till his rocket ship job comes through.

Besides, Denny is a good wrench.
