Cycle wheel building lessons?

padyjoe · 2015-03-24 22:01:39

This one for the cyclist few of them in this topic as well. I wonder is there any place or knowledgeable wheelbuilder around town where one can have lessons to acquire the knowledge? I can service many things on my bike bar handling rims and spokes which I'm sick of. I'd like to gain some experience. Thank you!

I did my bike building course in Rothar in Dublin, they also do wheel building, you're pretty fecked down this end. Get a truing stand and watch Leonard Zinn videos would be my advice (unless you're truing expensive wheels).

Thank you, Captain! I wonder could you recommend me where to go to get my wheels checked? I got a new wheelset which I think needs a bit of de-stressing, better to get it checked by a professional.
