Wheel building still looks like a dark art to me and way beyond my capabilities plus I really don't want to buy more tools, so...........I'll take my business to my lbs. Thanks for the video, I'm totally convinced I need to have my wheels built by a professional. Very interesting though, you have my respect as a wheel builder, besides bring back old bikes to life.
Oh I'm still very much learning all the ways of wheelbuilding but it gets easier. Spoke length is the easy part. Trying to true a stubborn wheel in two directions and then maintain a good spoke tension is an absolute nightmare.
@@MonkeyShred Spoke length is only the easy part when you've got computers & online calculators, if you want a scare, look up doing the calculations manually the way people had to 40+ years ago.
I liked the mention of Sturmey Archer Dynohub. Wasn't expecting that! Thanks, very clear video.
Great video mate ,stay safe.
