Hey all decided to have a go at building a wheel for the first time since i worked at Europa Cycles
about 30 years ago.Scratching the head thinking where to start how am i going to do this i pulled
an old wheel apart put in on the floor and and thought oh no.But funny how some things stick in
the back of the old brain.All of a sudden i remembered where the first spoke had to be placed and
then eveything fell into place in not long i had a wheel all laced up.Now for the amazing part i
pulled all the spokes up tight backed them off a turn put the wheel in the forks to true it up but
i didn't need the spoke spanner the wheel ran true the first time i don't think i ever done that 30
years ago will post pics soon.

Legend! I built a set myself last month. Mine needed a small amount of trueing. It's very satisfying isn't it?
