Wheels & rebuilding

#1 PostAuthor: RAYZ1 » Wed Aug 10, 2016 10:41 pm

I had a go at building my own wheels with new spokes, first one was difficult, second one was 10x easier. Less than 0.4mm run out in any direction, ended up using a dial gauge, finally pinging the spokes to ring the same note which indicates tension match

my local bike tyre fitter said it was some the best he had seen, and way straighter than many new bikes with spokes he had done .
Dont be scared have a go
