I'm getting really sick of having to pay heaps of money every time I need to replace a hub or rim and am wondering about having a go at doing wheel builds myself. I guess a good starting point would be to tape the old rim next to the new one and go spoke by spoke to make sure that the configuration is correct and then maybe put the wheel onto the bike and use a straight edge or something to tighten it up and center/true it?
I've had some pretty crappy builds done at various bike shops over the years, surely it's not that hard to get the wheel in the basic ballpark?
