Wheels - how do you build them?
Spen69:
Yep, I build all my own wheels but my LBS charges a fiver a wheel to do the final tension and true - seeing as i ride all my bikes, I tend to leave it to a professional, but he charges £25 a wheel to build inc spokes & nips, so I save about £15 per wheel to do the building myself and make sure he doesn't scratch the anno :daumenhoch:
cbrboy-2008:
i agree with j t racing it is a great feelling when you build your own wheels. HELL!! i would do them for free, just for the pleasure of doing them ;)
brettypeeps:
I build them for free now and again it is really satisfying :daumenhoch:
kuwahero:
I build my own wheels from time to tome. Like others have said it really is satisfying to see them when they are finished.
I find it quite therapeutic lacing and truing wheels when sitting watching the TV :daumenhoch:
