I'll see how this one goes. I'm planning for the next update of the book and thought it would be good to meet some of my customers and find out how they found the current version and for me to check over their wheels (in brutally honest detail). It's a question/answer session with practical bits where necessary and I'll probably end up building a wheel.

hmm, tempted - Roger - I assume it's ok to bring wheels we've built and have had good use since- not just squeeky clean things ?
Glad to here your back !

As long as they were built by yourself using the book's instruction then any wheel will do (as long as it's clean).

I went to Roger's open day and it was a great success. We all went away knowing a lot more than when we started. His patient, jocular approach put everyone at ease. I'm surprised more people don't take him up on his offer as he knows his stuff.

Would have loved to, i teach wheelbuilding classes myself, and can build a pretty decent wheel, but can't help but think there's so much more i could learn, in fact, i might just buy mr m's book, what's it called/where to buy?
