WARDY:
Are wheels easy 2 build? , as i like to have a crack at building mine. Also has any one got any decent pics of 4X lacing on a wheel (as this is what they have to be) . Cheers Carl :daumenhoch: :daumenhoch:

stidds:
Have a look at the 'How to' I put together on wheel building.  The how to is a guide to 3x but 4x is just as easy.  Take your time and it should be fine.  The first time I laced a wheel (never having done one before) it took me about 45 minutes per wheel.  It now takes about 5 minutes per wheel.

Here is a link to the 'How to'

Frosty:
I can vouch for Stidds guide I used it for the first and all 5 pairs I have built since :daumenhoch:

the truing is the part that takes the time but get one of these (or an old pair of forks upside down in a vice)



and also then refer to the excellent Sheldon Brown truing guide

i must be thick.....as i tried following it and ended up with a clown wheel!  i'd say it wasn't the easiest thing in the world to attempt
