    I can email the PDF version to anyone interested.

    PM your details.

    This will be JB's book that was published here...

    I emailed JB some time ago to let him know its existance but it's probably very difficult to stop this kind of theft. Mr Schraner's book is also there. Thankfully not mine but I know it's been passed around the bike community foc.

    The next edition will be closely tied to a password protected area on the WP website so valid purchasers can access more information.

    rocker9455, don't be skeptical, they are all genuine. Honest!

    Definitely make the truing stand, it's what I use every day since I cannot find anything better.

    Harsh comment RPM considering you don't know me and haven't read my tome.

    Cheers,

    PS If it were a wheel previously built by myself then I would always re-use the spokes but as Zippie says, it takes a little longer so for commercial reasons I normally cut them out. If you have no commercial pressure and the lengths are appropriate then why not reuse them. The spokes have been operating well below their yield stress and fatigue limits and will be in perfect condition. I think it's important that you only re-use spoke from a previous build done by yourself, that way you know the history and can be confident they will perform just as well.
