I've decided for a new year project I'm going to teach myself to build a wheel.

I know there is an ebook / pdf guide that lots of people recommend. Can anyone point me to it please?

I'd also like a recommendation for calculating spoke length if anyone has a good one they use.

Cheers

There are a few out there. Roger Musson's seems to be most frequently recommended: https://www.wheelpro.co.uk/wheelbuilding/book.php

Yes I used munsons book ( good and still have a print out as a reference ) but I suspect you can get a decent guide walk through via you tube / the internet these days

It's just about being patient and methodical.

Yep. That's the one I was thinking of. Cheers

I use Rogers book

If you pm me an email address I'll send you the spreadsheet I've got that calculates spoke lengths - lifted from Sheldon Browns site

I've just used Sheldon brown website, a great resource.

Very satisfying

Sheldon brown website, DT swiss spoke length calculator and (for BMX wheels, but worth a read if you can find it) the G-sport wheel building page were what I used to start from

I read this a few years ago on recommendation from a friend who builds his own wheels. The lacing part I found interesting...I just never knew : )
