Building wheels/ teaching wheel building

I think what it is that sort of puts people off is the thought of building it wrong and then it failing dramatically while you are riding it lol.

As long as you remember to put all the spokes in i'm sure you will not fail dramatically, simply building a wheel is quite simple once you understand the concept, and that way you can build yourself aa wheelset for about £100, open sport rims, on one hubs, dt swiss spokes, that will build you a very good wheelset.
