Flatspot Phils IS OUT OF ACTION AT THE MOMENT
Got some flatspotted, coned, and/or ovaled wheels? I can true them up for you.
The surface finish I am able to achieve is similar to that of slide prepped wheels.
I can also modify the profile of your wheels for you, If you want round, chamfered, or square edges on your wheels, I can do it.
If you have a worn set of wheels with now unsupported edges, I can square them up again, it just costs you a little bit of width.
Grooved wheels for rain? I can do it. I wont touch the new section of the wheel so you still have untouched thane for your contact patch.
Heck if you want me to cone your wheels for you, I can even do that too.
NOTE. the smaller the flatspot the less wheel I will have to take away to match it.
I am a trade qualified fitter and machinist and all work will be performed on a lathe.
I am not attempting to make copious amounts of cash from this but it would be nice if it helped me buy a set of wheels here and there, so price list is:
$5 for wheel truing. per set of 4.
$5 for wheel modifying. per set of 4.
$20 for wets.
plus enough to post them back to you.
Send your wheels to
Phil Bartlett
112 Lord Howe Drive
Ashtonfield 2323 NSW
include clear instructions of what work you want performed, to aid the speedy return of your wheels.
Payment: either include the cash inside your package, or paypal (philipbartlett@hotmail.com)
If you have any questions or concerns contact me via this thread/PM

haha thanks, if you feel guilty and want to pay $10 a set, I wont complain, but $5 seems reasonable to me, you dont want to be spending too much on maintaining your wheels. I'm more interested in having repeat customers and a larger customer base than making the price point high. If you like the service, let people know about it.

Hey Phil, I believe that the urethane powder/dust that is produced through lathing wheels can be really bad for you. Have you investigated the safety requirements, etc, etc?

Yes I have all the appropriate safety gear, thanks for your concerns.
Send em all on!

What do rain grooves do? I see it must be for riding in the wet, but doesnt that screw up your bearings and griptape or something?
