Wheel Building Class

Okay, we've got the numbers for a first sesh. I'll check with SBB and post some possible dates. Then we can work out if there's an order for bits that we can pool for discount.

If anyone else is interested, stick your name down - we can always try to organise another one.

Interested. id say there are probably enough for two classes no? or if dogs is coming down two, then one class two teachers...?

Definitely digging the pooled parts idea.

Depending on the date I'd be up for this as well. I can bring a wheel stand, brought a Park Tool one some time ago, have trued and redished some wheels but not yet built any from scratch. Also have a dishing tool somewhere.

I'd also realy appreciate some help with calculating spoke lenghts, I've got 32 hole Ambrosio track hubs and 32 hole Ambrosio Evolution rims. I've got spoke calc but haven't been able to track down/work out the neccessary measurements for the hubs and rims to use it. Any help much appreciated :)

I am up for this too. Just have to order the right stuff in time

SmallBrownBike is up for doing a couple of classes if we have enough people, but places on each are limited to 8. Venue will be at SBB's place on Shacklewell Lane, Dalston.

Please add your name to the list under whichever of these dates is your preference:

tempted on this, don't really need new wheels but really keen to learn how to build them. I'll have a think and check my wallet, could always file it under education no?

Cheers for organising this Mr Otters!

thanks man, should have the stuff assembled well in advance of this. cheers, looking forward to it a lot.

PJS, i have a few boxes of ACI double butted spokes, in the main lengths of 260mm, 280mm, 290mm and even some 300mm.

cyclebasket sell a box of 144 for £19.90 ;)

cheers dude but I'm beginning to think it would be nice to build the wheels I'm going to ride - do you think this is a good idea first time or should I do a demo wheel?

also for the hubs I've been looking at (SJSC fixed-fixed) SJS has qutoed 287mm for the rear and 288mm for the front so I guess I'd be getting these. Does this sound right?

Just after I put my name to the list I got a notification. Thanks for all of this Otter.

Thanks for arranging this otter chap.

crikey - feels like i should be in the saturday class with the other people who have more than three letters in their user name.

You can be PWO (Tried a 'squared' symbol but it doesn't work.

And cheers dude!

@ kat/VanUden : Yay! You knocked me off the list... most likely cos I didn't copy n paste. So here it is.

So... whats everyone building? I'm going to see if I can get hold of a Velocity deep V rim.

Will we need some lolly for materials? What's the score commodore?
