Wheelbuilding courses

Dave Kahn said:

That is for a 3-day course though. The courses seem to be aimed at professional mechanics as much
as home builders. If they are as comprehensive as they seem that doesn't sound unreasonable to me.
They do have to make a living.

What the hell do you do after the first day?

FWIW, Mr Brandt is a regular poster on rec.bicycles.tech. He can be (and usually is) a bit of a
crank, but his advice is worth reading.

Definitely not a crank - I think you meant a bit cranky

More than a bit. Furthermore, he writes on that group with as much certainty and confidence on
matters of which he is profoundly ignorant as on those on which he is generally regarded as expert.
I suppose I'd trust his wheelbuilding book simply because enough people I do respect consider it
good, but I wouldn't trust his opinion on much else without verification.

In summary, my experience of him is of an arrogant and at least partially ill-informed thug.

What Simon said (eh?). Much useful information on the subject of Building Bicycle Wheels may be
gleaned from sheldonbrown.comwheelbuild.htmlOpen ↗ and being free, it matters much less if it
gets covered in greasy thumbprints. I have built a Several of wheels from these instructions and so
far none has disintegrated or exhibited suspicious tendencies.
