Here's a good place to start. -
Get Jobst Brandt's The Bicycle Wheel. Job done. :-)

How many spokes, how tight is your budget, what sort of rim weight / width? :)
Re starting:
Put valve spokes first, leading spokes go towards rotation direction & you can see their spoke head,
Leading goes in first
3 spokes between each spoke
count the crosses in your head when spokingProbably all very well explained but those are the things I fecked up last times so maybe these help you a bit :)

Hi, this post is too long to trawl the whole thing so can anyone direct me to any good beginners advice/instructions, either here or elsewhere on the web.
Basically, would like to build some road wheels, built some BMX wheels 30 years ago but don't have any recent experience except the odd repair. I have an idea of what I want to do but want to see if it's feasible, also have a tight budget and want to get away with as basic equipment as possible
