Good job 🙂

Can we have a post ride report and picture?

what when they fall to bits lol 😉

Yep 😆

just been out for a five min spin up the road had a couple of little creaks of the spokes where i must not have relived them enough but seemed sound than it lashed it down so i came back as only had short and t on lol proper test at weekend but they are so much quieter than the ksyrium es that i had on before 😉

What was the egg cup used for ? 😀

nice one there!!!i would love to build my own wheels,but do not have a clue where to begin to learn(my attempt would come out like a pringle 😀 )

i had the oil in the egg cup to dip the spoke ends in 😉

adam i learned how to do it from roger mussons wheel building book
http://www.wheelpro.co.uk/wheelbuilding/book.php

to be fair its really easy just take patience to get it spot on. or as spot on as you can be arsed to lol

Building wheels is all about taking your time, it is no black art. I built a set of DT 1.1 rims with DT Comp spokes on a set of Formula hubs at the weekend. As long as you are methodical and patient then it is all good.

I used Sheldon Brown as a refresher guide.

ah thanks mick,i'll check the book out!!! 😀

Nice build mick!
Like the hosan wheel jig too.
I keep intending on getting the Roger Musson book one day.
You should come out for a Gaping Goose ride with Ton, Gooner, ian and meself one weds (though not tomorrow as its gonna wee it down!)

ygm fella oh and the jigs great 😉

People interested in a book and firestarter responding with "ygm". Hope this isn't what I think it is.

🙂

adam sponsored me and i mailed him about that and chb was on about a local ride 😉

I feel embarassed for asking the question.

Cheers,
Roger
PS. Shouldn't that Spokey should be red?

well it should be but i was recommended this key by the builder in the shop its the pro one with two grips and the wrong size but oddly it really does seem to work better than the red one

build went really well but i had a bit of drama getting the radial near perfect . side to side its perfect but radial there is some slight movement but prob next to nowt just looks more in the jig when looking for it prob not even .5mm

The red one is my favourite but brand new I find there is a little too much plastic surounding the jaws on the top surface which makes locating it on the nipple a bit sticky. I take a knife and slightly chamfer the edges to expose the metal jaws. This advice will be going ito the next release of the book.

ah tricks of the trade 😉

its a hozan its solid alright lol weighs a ton 😉
