Introduction to Wheelbuilding
Building your own bicycle wheels can bring a great sense of satisfaction. Wheel building also adds a bit of artistry to the repertoire of the bike mechanic.
During our one-day course, you will learn how to:
- calculate spoke lengths
- assess lacing options and lace a three cross wheel
- produce a rear wheel that is both correctly dished and radially/laterally true
- use a spoke tensiometer
We will provide all the tools and parts for this wheel building course. Trainees will build a 36 spoke rear wheel for rim brakes.
It is also a recommended add-on to our Velotech Gold courses.
