Default Albany Area help

Hey guys im looking for someplace in the Albany NY area that laces and trues wheels. The only place that i have found is Pro Cycles but am looking for someplace else as i wasnt really fond of the owners attitude. Im willing to drive an hour or so to get this done if anybody can help. Im going to be powdercoating my laces this winter, which is why i need it done.

You might want to ask at Brunswick, or Spitzies if they know of anyone.

Brunswick gave me the name of a couple place i could send them out. Spitzies will never get a dime of my money, ive had nothing but bad experiences from them. I didnt think somebody could screw up mounting a tire on a brand new rim but they managed to, not to mention the fact it took them over 2.5 weeks to do the job. I basicly had to go there and tell them to give me my parts i was going someplace else before they would do it. This was all after the rim came in and they had it there. then they put the wrong bearings in and ****ed my rotor up. Sorry for the rant i just despise spitzies

I must have had bad luck at Brunswick, cant even stand to walk in that place. Anyway, if you continue up RT 7 past Brunswick HD, about 5 miles you come into Raymertown. On the right is a barn looking place with an Avon tire sign hanging. Place always looks dead, but its a small mom n pop place (cold beer in the keg in the shed). Very old school, but my dad has had luck with them since riding as a kid and I have as well. If he can't do it, he would prob have a name. If your not local, Ill search for the name/number.
