Nexus Hub Wheelbuilding Charges

I can build a wheel with any of the Nexus hubs that I sell. I have been building wheels professionally for over 25 years. I pre-stress the spokes and box the finished wheel properly to prevent damage in shipping.

Below are the rims I typically use, all are alloy 36 hole.

A set of stainless spokes cost $15. The labor to build the wheel is $30. Shipping/insurance will usually run between $13 and $25 in the continental USA.

Therefore:

Hub cost + rim cost + $15 (spokes) + $30 (labor) + $13-$25 (shipping) = delivered total.
