Wheel That Got Built...

After the onslaught today of the eager beavers going through the tools that were for sale at the shop, I got the chance to sit down and unwind.  One of my good customers got a new wheel today, via his current Powertap hub, and new rim and spokes.  I took a basic progression of shots, as its kind of hard to hold the camera and get "action" shots while building a wheel. Enjoy...

Prepping the spokes with Linseed Oil...its perfect for wheels

1st set of spokes, dropped in non-drive side

2nd set in a progressive pattern dropped in the drive side


3rd set, 2 cross pattern begins



4th set is in, and now its ready to be tensioned/dished
Its the little touches...making sure its lined up

The completed project.
