Wheelcraft
Wheelcraft: LCP 2nd*
Clachan of Campsie, 01360 312 709.
Website if you google it but it's seldom more than a holding page.
Grumpiness rating: Low, unless you annoy him.
Wheelcraft has been run by Big Al since 1987. It is crammed with wheels, hubs, parts and coffee making equipment. Any request for a part will be answered with "I know there's one somewhere". There is no tool that Al doesn't have.
As the name suggests, wheels are the speciality here. Be warned, Al taught himself to build wheels rather than from a book, and favours the same side lacing, not the stronger and more elegant mirror image way.
All other bike shops you hear about will disappoint when you visit, but Wheelcraft is everything you have heard of and more.
