Hi everyone,
Ive been thinkin recently about learning to build wheels, have a mate that can teach me and although ive been building bikes for a while, I am yet to build a wheel and I would really like to.
The free wheelset that got given away a while ago got me thinking - does anyone happen to have an old damaged wheel set sittin around that I could use for practising truing and then rebuilding completely? rather than buying good rims and risk ruining them Id rather get damaged bits already for practisin.
Obviously, its just to learn on so size/type doesnt really matter although it would be nice if there were a fixed 700c wheelset which would mean I had something I could use on the frames im working on right now (if i did a good enough job) but i know that may be pushing it!
thanks, drop me a pm if you have anything and let me know how much you want.
