Surly LHT wheel question
I had both wheels replaced last year by a local bike shop. They used rims with 36 spokes but not the same brand as the originals.
Now my front wheel is creaking and groaning. I want to replace it with the original brand: Alex DH19 36h. I can order them on line but they are always rims only with no spokes. Is it possible to buy them with spokes? Would it be safe to ask a local bike shop to put spokes on? Is it a highly skilled job?
And advice welcome.
BTW I live in Japan when nothing is easy!
