Hey all,
I've finally got round to recording a set of video tutorials for wheel building. I've had loads of enquiries about one-to-one lessons and tutorials. Many have found the existing tutorials on my site to useful but we have bigger bandwidth nowadays I thought it was about time I made some videos. So I'm starting a new thread just to promote it really.
They are a bit rough and ready and they follow by current method of building 3-cross wheels. This is essentially for newbies and those with very little experience as I cover a lot of background information too. Experienced wheel builders may find some points useful.
I've put them into playlists. There are 2 Parts - lacing and truing. They are on autoplay. Here is the first set.

Big up to forum member FridayMarch26th for adding the titles at the beginning and the end as well as adjusting the levels.
I hope this will be useful for those wanting to learn to build their own wheels.
