• Built my first set of wheels today, cheapest everything I could get to replace the dying Fulcrum Racing 5 set in the Eroba. Remerx Dragon L719 laced to a Shimano Tourney hub in the rear and a Shimano dynamo hub in the front, total cost was 75 euros. Will be getting dynamo lights when daylight starts to disappear again.

    Starting to fantasize about a set for the Kona as the Fulcrum Red Power XLs are creaking again and I don't want to replace the bearing another time if the service life is roughly 6 months. Current thinking is straight-pull DT Swiss 350's to wide-ish aluminum rims like the Duke Lucky Star Ultra.

  • Yes, a bit frustrating initially but very rewarding once I got the hang of it. Great skill to have, many of my wheels are not true enough to be good but not far enough out of true to bring to a bike shop, now I can just sort it myself on a rainy Sunday.

    And thanks, slowly getting the hang of it. :)
