Looking for a local wheel builder. Looking at some carbon hoops that I'd want built up from an expert wheel builder. Any recommendations?

Thanks I'll check him out. They're for my 29er mtb if that matters at all for expertise.

They primarily build 29 ers, and they make fun of me for my 26" wheels.  I have 2 sets, getting ready to go on 4 from Ballwin, they are outstanding.

John at Mesa built a set of cyclocross wheels for me that I raced all last season. I've never had to true them once.

Sam at Peloton in St Chas does a very nice job.  Depends on where you live I'd say.
