Er yes wheelbuilding is amazingly easy I was totally gobsmacked by how easy it was th efirst wheel I built I built twice becuase I was convinced there was more to it than that. Oh and you get to put a proper amount of tension into your spokes and stress relieve the wheels as much as you like. I like Gerd Schraners book it seems in my head a bit more logical in terms of actual building process than Jobst Brand't process although Brandt has some interesting mechanical properties charts. Schraner is cool because he's obviously widly eccentric, anyone up for "better rolling spokes than rolling joints" T shirts ;0) > > -- > Andy Armstrong, hexten.net > > _______________________________________________ > mtbne-l mailing list > [email protected] > http://www.hexten.net/mailman/listinfo/mtbne-l > _______________________________________________ mtbne-l mailing list [email protected] http://www.hexten.net/mailman/listinfo/mtbne-l
