Wheel build.

(1/2) > >>

GREMLIN:
As far a bikes builds go, the only thing i've never over all the years even attempted to do is lace a wheel up. The last 25 minutes have changed that. It's not some type of magic involved and as well as finally getting my 1st lace up done , i found it very relaxing ( kinda like knitting for my mum type thing )  ???  Fair enough it'll still have to go to my local matey to be trued and tightened down. But at least i'm taking a built wheel along, instead of spare parts  :daumenhoch:.
In fact i may take it all apart and do it all again.  :LolLolLolLol:  Seriously tho i only built this to see if i could out of spare bits for now.

true its very rewarding doin ya first set of wheels
i still love doin me own lol

bof:
nice 3 cross and the valve hole in the right place. if the wheel runs pretty true as it is, then just tighten each spoke by half a turn at opposite sides and before you know it , it will be tight and true Job done.

You never forget your first. :smitten: ........... Wheel build that is.   :4_17_5:

Ace wheel build, that looks superb.

I love lacing wheels and I am so glad I learnt how to do it.  Truing a wheel isn't very difficult either, just takes a bit of practise.
