I do love building wheels!

Haven't done this in years! Very therapeutic!

Re:

Good work there and very theraputic, particularly with a beer or huge tea. I did this recently but in reverse – dismantling old wheels to save the STX Parallax hubs. I recently downloaded Roger Musson's Wheelpro book and the dismantling process gave me a feel for doing a future wheel build, one day – although I've just been instructed that I'm to build the shed I've been promising to build, first...

I was taught by an 89 year old, true legend back in '95. It's not hard, its trued and fitted and ready to go!

Re:

Ps yes it is a tad more difficult building a wheel with your feet!

 

[k-rod]

Its a Zen thing (I'll build a wheel, now and Zen too) ...

I'm not sure that using it on a turbo counts!

Well done, I like building mine too.
I'll get a jig one day! :facepalm: Maybe! :roll:
