March 2011 Wheelbuilding Class at the Bike Kitchen
Event Information
Event description
Description
Over two weeks we will cover the principles of spoke lacing and tensioning and guide you through the assembly of a "cross-3"-laced wheel (The most common kind of spoke-lacing pattern).
No previous wheel knowledge is required or expected, but a willingness to learn and have fun is a must!
You will need to bring your own rim, hub, spokes and
spoke nipples. We strongly discourage the use of used spokes or rim
for this class, but a used hub is okay. Your favorite shop can help
determine the correct spoke length, or you can search online for "spoke
calculator."
This class will be held Mondays, March 14th and 21st, 7:00pm - 9:30pm.
