Built my first wheel!

Ticaboy · June 2007

Bought a 2nd-hand set of wheels recently to have as spares. Rear spokes were damaged from chain jumping off top ring (spoke protectors all the way!). So, after removing all the old spokes, I stripped and cleaned the hubs, replaced bearings, and added new grease.

But, the exciting part for me (I am very sad) was re-lacing with new DTSwiss Comp DB stainless spokes and truing the wheels up on the new Minoura jig.

99% of you will find this very dull, but I'm chuffed...!
