• Rims are £17 on sale from wiggle / hubs were £60 from some Chinese seller on eBay / spokes & nipples were about £20 from cyclebasket - 24 hole f&r but should be fine for general road use by an 11(ahem) stone weakling like me.

    Done this a few times - build them to a stage where they're as round / tight as I can do by eye in the frame then drop them into someone who actually knows what they're doing & has proper tools for the final tweaks to get them perfect - most of the time they're very nearly there

  • That sounds like a good starting point for a novice (is there a level even before novice?) wheelbuilder like myself.
