wheel building course

Postby fozzie54 » Mon Apr 27, 2009 9:02 am

Hello everyone
I am wanting to teach a couple of people how to build wheels ( for free ) I have taught many people over the years and as I am now retired I have time to give something back to the community.

Located in Perth and it won't be till June as doing some travelling till then.
So if you want to learn how to build any wheel and can listen feel free to try.

Have a wheely good day

Hi Fozzie,

keen to get a refresher - also if you ping the BTA they may be interested in adding you in their planned set of cycling workshops. Contact details are on their website or PM cyclesnail

Would love to attend, with a mate. I've been thinking of building some wheels up for a while now and this might be the reason to finally do it!

Fozzie,
Seeing as you are the expert, I have a quick question. I have some really cool looking 36 spoke hubs I got off an old junker from the tip but am looking to build them into some newer rims. Do I have to look for rims with no more or less than 36 holes, a number of holes of a certain factor of 36 or is it possible to adapt to pretty much anything?
