I used it a couple of times this weekend in fact to diagnose a problem and then to put a new hub in a wheel. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12643#post-150008 Wed, 23 Apr 2014 15:50:35 +0000 DaveC 150008@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Hmm seeing pictures of truing stand on a google search I may modify my Turbo for truing and building wheels!

They appear to be £25 new.

I see however that some less scrupulous individuals have turned his book into a PDF that is available to all and sundry.</p> <p>Personally, I like to have a proper book because books don't require electricity and I can scribble my own annotations on a book. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12643#post-149972 Wed, 23 Apr 2014 13:57:29 +0000 DaveC 149972@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Do you have an ISBN number Arellcat please? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12643#post-149971 Wed, 23 Apr 2014 13:53:22 +0000 Arellcat 149971@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I would still recommend Jobst Brandt's book because it's so straight-to-the-point. I used it just the other day in fact, to remind myself of whether inbound or outbound spokes go in first.</p> <p>Getting hold of Brandt's book isn't too hard but I'm surprised at how expensive it now is. My copy, somewhat helpfully annotated by the previous owner, came from a charity shop many years ago for about £2. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12643#post-149934 Wed, 23 Apr 2014 10:08:51 +0000 DaveC 149934@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Is that all it is?? I was expecting Zinn to cost ~£60. Cheers, I'll order one and take a look. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12643#post-149932 Wed, 23 Apr 2014 09:51:05 +0000 wingpig 149932@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>There's a section about it in <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/Zinn-Art-Road-Bike-Maintenance/dp/1934030988/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1398242981&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=zinn+bicycle+maintenance">Zinn</a> which is fairly similar to the stuff on Sheldon. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12643#post-149931 Wed, 23 Apr 2014 09:46:52 +0000 DaveC 149931@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I'm looking for a book on cycle wheel building. I've heard of Roger Musson's book which I understand is available in digital format and Jobst Brandt's 'The Bicycle Wheel'. I prefer paper to computer screen (I'm old skool) and would appreciate any suggestions for a book I can still get hold of.</p> <p>Cheers,</p> <p>Dave C </p>
