Truing a wheel
#6
I printed in in colour and ring-bound (dunno if that's the correct word) it. I reread some sections before building a new wheel. The "check list", 1 page with all steps written down in a short form, is very useful. Good luck and have fun. Wheel building is not that difficult, you need a bit understanding of mechanics and lots of patience. Oh, and quite a bit of time for the first wheels (I am still in that regime, I don't build wheels that often). And did I mention patience?

That reminds me: I have to check my newest front wheel. I got fancy and laced it two leading and two trailing, was a bit more difficult than a normal wheel.
