I use Roger Musson: The Professional Guide to Wheel Building: http://www.wheelpro.co.uk/wheelbuilding/book.php
I have built one rear wheel, which still works fine after around 2400 km. And a few other wheels for my next bike I look forward to test when I decide on a frame ;-) The book is really, really well written, makes the reader feel it it a easy task to make a wheel, if you follow the steps carefully and don't try to make your own "smart" shortcuts. Cheap, around $15, but you have to print it yourself, or read it at the screen. A lot af good reveiws here: http://www.mtbr.com/cat/resources/book/roger-musson/wheel-building/PRD_417244_103crx.aspx -Teit On 3 Maj, 22:06, nathan spindel <nath...@gmail.com> wrote: > Is Jobst's book still the de facto resource for learning the craft of > wheelbuilding?
