Its probably cheaper to fly there and enjoy the whisky than buy it here!

Yes indeed... Just don’t fly Jetstar!

Wheels redone. Let us never speak if this again...

Til the next time you do exactly the same thing

Probably... The next time will likely be like this time - a long time since I last built a wheel and hence prone to forgetting all the stuff I did wrong the last time.

@Haakon formally invites all members to have wheels built for free so he can practise!

I’ve never built a wheel... I think it’s very cool.

The closest thing I’ve done is replace every POS alloy nipple with brass, one by one, till it’s done.

Go Hackster.

Hopped in car to head to VDHS final at Youies...though I’d get one last fart out. Followed through.

Depends if you want a good wheel or not...

Added insult to injury and on one wheel forgot to put the spokes from the side I dismantled back in the same holes... So just under the head of the spoke I can see the dent from where it had the elbow last time.

Sigh. Oh well, that side is behind the rotor and you have to look for it anyway. But I know it’s thete...

Just needs time and practice with no interruptions during the process! I offer to build wheels for my mates whenever I have time just to stay in practice.

Now we have competition in the free wheel building market! This is a win for free market economics and rotor burn. Please post up addresses gents

No warranty given. Payment in beer - prices have gone up from free, but I provide value add in the form of lessons on how not to do it.

First proper entry here for a while.

There was a 50/50 chance.

There's a 50/50 chance every post you make in the LTIH thread should be here, but kudos for building a wheel.

That's not how increased competition works...you're going to end up in trouble.

Such wisdom!

I'm a public servant - its assumed i have no clue how such things work...

Given current evidence, I find no reason to contradict......

Its a public service I'm providing. Done out of love (for beer).

I'd call it an observation.

I have a wheel that needs a rebuild if your interested? Will pay in beer.

Straight pull hubs FTW... What happened to that dude here a few years ago with that blue blinged bike that argued the virtues of straight pull until he was blue in the face?

I can give you (some actually useful) tips on doing it yourself? It really is dead easy if you take your time and is super satisfying.
