Sheldon Brown’s colour-coded instructions FTW
I got a cheap jig a while ago which does the job. The dishing guide is way out and I need to re-calibrate it on every build, but now I know that its fine. The only downside to the jg is it only takes qr axles, so I reckon I’ll be buying a better one in the future.
Anyway, its amazingly satisfying lacing up and truing the wheel. Just double check you’ve put the correct values into whatever spoke length calculator you’re using. I made a balls-up once when I forget to check it was 3-cross, not 2…
Last build was this week. Laced the wheel on Sunday evening. Trued it and applied tubless rim tape on monday. Tyre on on tuesday and wired up the dynamo and rode it last night.
