Most Pleasing Parts to Fit?!?

Alison · Jun 9, 2007

I get pleasure from every bit I put on, just the knowledge that it is one more step to the completed machine. But if I were to name one best bit it is when the gears function properly first time

Give it a go with some old parts that you don't really care about. Start by re-rimming an old wheel with a rim you know is true. You'll know when you've got it right!

Just get a decent spoke key or you'll end up in the nut house. :twisted:
