      Yup, he's wanted one for a while and I'd pretty much resorted to the fact I was gonna have to "make one" from an old bike as they usually fly on ebay. Just hope he likes it!

    Wheelbuild mk2 is on!

  5. isitafox

    Wheel built but got very slight bob where the rim seam is, any tips to sort??

    1. Martin Reynolds

      Up bob or down bob? with an up bob, you can just tighten all the spokes on the bob to pull it down, with a down bob, you cant do anything

    Shall be having a go at building my own front wheel next week, can't wait!

      I agree with flipp, wheel building is a really relaxing task. Such a sense of achievement each time as well.
