(1/2) > >>

motomagII:
just built my first pair wheels boy it took a while but really proud i done it .had to get neighbour to true em though thats harder than building them .they are used pro class rims on stainless spokes with sr high flange hubs

OrgasmDonor:
wheely good :D

stidds:
Well done Greg, it is a skill that you will be glad to have learnt.

My 1st set wheels took about 3 hours to build, I can build a wheel in about 10 minutes now.  Just takes practise.

motomagII:
first one took me about 3 hours as had to strip and redo .the second was about 2 hours and built that a few times also lol

Frosty:
Greg,

It is satisfying isn't it, get yourself a truing stand and move to the next phase. I used Stidds excellent guide for the build and the Sheldon Brown, truing guide - it is relatively simple but time consuming for the beginer!!

By the way what colour are the hubs? it looks almost a smoke or bronze?

Regards

Paul
