Very cool looking. Good for you that your giving wheel building a go. I had no idea you had to cut each spoke to length. I like what you've done to your blog. It's looking good. I like that hub.

I think the rear is going to match it very well. It was pretty intimidating watching Scott true it in so quickly. I was able to untrue it faster though! Yeah, that hub is so awesome looking Marcus.

It makes much more sense now that I've attempted one. I still need much more prac, but that's coming. Thanks for the other links. I'll look into them today.

Another great book for the "whys" with a different perspective than Brandt is Gerd Schraner's "The Art of Wheelbuilding" (freely available as a PDF by the way: http://icelord.net/bike/ArtOfWheelbuilding.pdf). For the "hows" I think Sheldon's guide is lucid and detailed: http://www.sheldonbrown.com/wheelbuild.html More good tips and links here: http://miketechinfo.com/new-tech-wheels-tires.htm It's funny though, despite all this reading I've yet to attempt a wheel build of my own...

Wheel building is such an art form. Just truing a wheel takes serious practice. It is cool that you are learning to do this. That hub is intense! Wheel building is such an art form.
