Well done to ALL posters
It soon became useful and entertaining. There are regular posters, people who add useful info occasionally and plenty more who drop by to watch. That's fine. If you want to add news/comments it's easy to register and become a member.
RULES No personal insults. No swearing.
not a support questionI'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.
Cheers,
Dave C
Is that all it is?? I was expecting Zinn to cost ~£60. Cheers, I'll order one and take a look.
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.
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.
Do you have an ISBN number Arellcat please?
978-0960723669 I believe. I see however that some less scrupulous individuals have turned his book into a PDF that is available to all and sundry.
Personally, I like to have a proper book because books don't require electricity and I can scribble my own annotations on a book.
I have bid on one on ebay. They appear to be £25 new. Thanks again, Dave C
some less scrupulous individual gave me a link to the pdf version of Roger Muson`s book which I printed out for my own use but unfortunately (though not for Roger) it has been removed from tinterweb.
If your willing to pay the £9 I can highly recommend it and even has plans to build you own wheel jig
see my own homemade version from his plans
Hmm seeing pictures of truing stand on a google search I may modify my Turbo for truing and building wheels! Cheers G.
I sometimes think I want a Park TS-3 or even a Hozan C-330, but actually I like my Ultimate truing stand very much. 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.
