Wheel Lacing/Truing

For the past few days all I've been doing is lacing wheels and truing them for friends at the skatepark and also switching around wheel parts on my bikes. Then I got thinking... Maybe I can make a little something out of this! So here's my plan to make a few extra bucks around here....

If any of you guys need any sort of wheels laced, trued, fixed, etc. let me know!
I know Travis Healey does this stuff too, but hey, whats one more person?

Heres my following prices:
-Simple spoke replace: Free, (this takes about 2 seconds.)
-Multiple spoke replacements: $1.00 per spoke + 5 dollars for truing if needed.
-Wheel true: $10.00 per wheel, (since this takes soo long to do haha.)
-Wheel lace & True: $20.00 per wheel. (Lacing is easy, but time consuming.)
-Take apart wheel and relace it to different hub/rim/different spoke: $25.00 per wheel, (super time consuming)

I will also clean your wheels when they are done being fixed/built/trued for free.
Please provide the correct size spokes, spoke nipples, rim, hub, etc. and I will be able to have the wheels complete within either a few hours or by the next day depending on how busy I get which right now is never hahaha.

That sounds like a great idea Alex. I may have to hit you up before we start the outdoor season. I know my son's back wheel could use a decent truing, and I bet if I looked I could find a couple more between my bike and my daughter's bike. I'll take a look at them and get in touch when I get ready to have them done.
