Wheelbuilding at Sibley Bike Depot (January)
This class is designed as a complete introduction to the basics of wheel building. We are posting this class late, but if we have sufficient interest we will start the first class with lacing rims. The second class will entail bringing the wheel up to tension and truing it radially and laterally. It is okay if you don't understand what this means we will start at the beginning. No prior knowledge is necessary, however, it will be useful to understand the basics of truing.
We will be following Gerd Shraner's method feel free to peruse his book http://www.icelord.net/bike/ArtOfWheelbuilding.pdf
I am going to push this into January because not enough people registered in time. Please let me know if you would like to join us.

Facilitator's experience:
I have taught many of the classes. In addition I have a mostly useless degree in theory and spend a great deal of time thinking about how to be the best teacher I can be.

Wheel building materials
If anyone would like to buy parts for their wheel building project please let me know as soon as possible. I will place an order on the 17th so that it is here in plenty of time. We will be offering a slight discount, which is yet to be determined but not to exceed ten percent. If you have any questions call me at Sibley or email me micah. I would also appreciate hearing from everyone whether they want to buy new materials or not so we have enough for everyone.
Also I am going to have to push back the first classes start time. Let me know if there are any conflicts.
Thank you,
Micah
