indeed but no ‘net at home 🙁
Spoon method for wheelbuilding;
Take 8 spokes of the correct length, fit them to altentatin holes in one flange and every 4th hole on the rim. Screw them all into the nipples so about 1.5-2mm of thread is left showing.
Pick up the wheel your copying and figure out which ones youve just fitted.
Figure out how to put the opposite (pushing/pulling and drive/none-drive side) spoke in, you only need to figure out one. This bit takes by far the longest and really fustrating, I went for a beer then came back to it. Then its the same every other hole, every 4th hole.
Back to the first side, the next 8 spokes go in the remainig holes formt he other side, and halfway between the other spoke holes in the rim. 3x over the first 2 under the third spoke.
The last 8 spokes are easy, in the hub, over 2 under the third.
Screw all the nipples up untill the thread just diapears, if your lucky the wheel is now straight and perfectly dished with even and good tension. Ifd youve not sold your soul to the devil, put a turn on each spoke untill the tension seems about right. Then get the dishing aproximately right (it’ll stil be wobbling, hence aproximate) by adding and subtracting a half turn from alternating spokes. The true it as normal.
Like I said, the new rims (mavic en521, thoroughly recomended as a result) are so stiff I couldn’t release the tension in the spokes to undo any windup, even with my full bodyweight! Either that or there wasn’t any windup.
You should now have somethign vaguely wheel like.
