    Is this the 'holy grail of wheel bulilding' book?

    I have a friend who was raving about this famous, out of print, wheel building book for ages and I thought it would be a great birthday present... but then I forgot the title :(

    Its a file sharing site. Brandt's book should be available in PDF form.

    That is cool but at work I am on a Mac and I have just checked out emule stuff and it looks PC based. How can I check hat it is available.

    Many thanks Gary

    Just checked, 3rd edition on there, roughly 4MB.

    Is it easy to get? 4mb should be a quick dowload. Do I have to get all the emule stuff downloaded omon my PC first?

    Thanks for checking. They probably have other out of print manuals.

    It's not instant, you wait in a queue. You'll have to download the emule program before you can start downloading files.

    I think I will have a go some time over the weekend. It sounds like a good resource for material that is difficult to find and out of print.

    Many thanks!

    I've had it on order from amazon since February and they keep moving the delivery date backwards - now aiming for October!
