I want to organise a wheel building class and I’m looking for 6-8 people to join me, chip in £20 each and pay an experienced builder to show us how. It will take 3-4 hours one evening or weekend day before the end of the month.
The idea is that we buy and take along our own components and end up with the wheels we want and the confidence and know-how to do it again.
I know there are a few guides that have been recommended in a number of threads here recently, but personally I’m not so keen on learning from books and videos; I’d prefer to have someone on hand to talk me through it and answer questions. And there’s the added bonus of this being sociable (i.e. meet other forumengers, beers involved).
Hopefully SmallBrownBike will be our guru - he’s got a stack of tools, is suitably skilled and is up for this, date depending.
Anyone interested?
