I've always wanted to build my very own special wheelset

But i'd been told you can easily shag the rim completely out of shape never to be fixed,so ive shied away from it .

I'll give it a try next month

That's a great blog.

I must say it's definitely something all bike enthusiasts should try at least once.

Wheel building and truing knowledge is a very worthwhile skill.

One of the really satisfying jobs to get done on a bike, to build your own wheels. If you are concerned about ruining a wheel just take an older wheel and strip and rebuild it for practice.

or get pro to check out your work once you finish

or better still leave it to people in your lbs or me

not a bad link thought if any one wants to learn im willing to teach at the cost of dr pepper and strawberry doughnuts

Wheelbuilding isn't rocket science. To everyone thinking about it...I say give it a go!

I didn't realize you had to drink beer whilst making them, I think I'll give it a go now.

Quite happy to build wheels for people & teach wheelbuilding if you supply the beer!

I hate wheelbuilding :twisted: ,guess thats what comes from having to do it BITD.It is a handy thing to be able to do,just being able to true your own wheels will save you a fortune,I have a rear road wheel(factory built fancy jobbie) that systematically goes slack every couple of months,that adds up over a year!
