Captain Scarlet Posted February 12, 2007 Report Share Posted February 12, 2007 Meh, at my age I wouldn't really want to risk bodging a rim by trying build a wheel myself.Perhaps I'll have a practice with some crappy rim someday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jez Posted February 12, 2007 Report Share Posted February 12, 2007 How To Build A Wheel?Slowly and carefully Seriously, slowly and carefully. Lacing mistakes are a pain in the ass when you realise you gotta go back and redo all the leading spokes on one side or whatever (believe me, been there done that).I've done my rear one twice as per Sheldon Brown's site.That just sounds perverse in some twisted way...
