Look in the for sale section. There's always bargains to be had in there, you can't post in there or PM but if you leave a message on their profile wall you might have some luck.

I offer a full custom wheel building service. with a choice of rims/spokes/nipples and hubs
I have low price rims and hubs in stock but i will not build with budget spokes.
-
Rear hubs are better, but now with the choice of so many good quality freewheels it's probably more beneficial to keep the weight down (and more importantly centered) and go with the front freewheel.
Are you a comp or street rider? Most street bashers use rear hubs as they are stronger and also easy to service. downside is they are heavy

a brake booster will help, also try cutting the corners off the end of the pad this will help them to toe in reducing the noise.

Personally I go for about a 1mm of flex (ish- just enough to move it but if it gets more i tend to nip them all up and check the true)
But its more important that the tension is even around the wheel.
Alternatively; try a halfords/LBS, they usually have tension-ometers. If they are friendly you could ask whether they could show you the tension on a well built whell and then test yours. This would then give you a reference for checking in future. after a while it becomes intuative. Hope it helps lad
The recommended tension for a wheel can be as low as 80kgf (kilogram force) or as high as 130kgf. It is best to set the tension to the highest weakest link in the system will allow, In most cases this will be the rim, the only way to check this is manufacturers specs. Alot of people will run very high spoke tension on trials wheels as they take so much pounding, that is ok but if you run a plain gauge spoke with no butting the rim will flat spot very easy.
This is due to trials rims having no depth. My advice would be to run a good quality spoke (double butted) and keep the tesion high.

Front Disc Wheel - Lacing Patterns?
in Beginners Trials Chat
Posted
As most people have said 3 cross is going to be the most durable. But there is a correct way to lace a disc wheel.
Remember that when braking on a disc hub it changes the spoke tension, and could cause the spokes to hit the disc caliper.
Make sure that the outside spoke (outbound) is running forward as you look at the disc side of the wheel and run the inside spoke
(inbound) behind. This will prevent the outbound spokes from dropping tension and will also press against the inbound spokes to
hold there tension and will reduce wheel flex . Also remember that many hub manufacturers require there hubs to be laced this way
