I'm going to be working on a wheel and other bike stuff tomorrow afternoon if you want to rendezvous to get some progress done.
I'm thinking that I'll get it mostly done and then take it Colin/Wayward for QC by someone who knows what they're doing more than me.

Charles at Wright Bros offers an excellent wheel building class that many of us have taken. His next class starts this Sunday. Give him a call to see if there's still room.

though, I have to work at 4pm tomorrow, so before then is most desireable.

What is up with Charl's crazy spoke lacing method?
Also, I have not written here yet, because I told Stephen to post here for help. I sold him the rims and spokes.
Building a wheel is not difficult but it does take practice to be good. It is good to have a pro look your wheels over after you finish.

Well I live in the UDistrict. My plan is to leave my house around 10, catch Aaron's shop as it opens to buy the spokes and brake cable I need and then bust ass getting stuff fixed up. I have plans at 5, so if you'd like we can get together 'bout noon thirtyish?

Meet me at the Blue Dog Cafe (52nd & University NE) at 12:30; I live about a half block away and will be wanting coffee by that point in my life.

uhmm....deduced.
I cant wrap my mind around the three cross aaron, I figured out basically that I had the spokes screwed in too far is why they would make the lengths, but on the rear wheel I left them all really loose to give myself room to work and they wont cross three and make it to the hole, anything I might be doing wrong?
edit how many things am i doing wrong? I am following the three cross pattern on my other wheel so I know the framework pattern isnt wrong.

Someone is going to have to show you. Without a book or guidance you will be lost.

yeah, I was out late schmoozing with the ConWorks people and slept in. I'm torn about what to do; be the responsible guy (ha!) and take the bus out there after work for the spokes and to borrow a book on wheel building or to go see Mudhoney and ride. I finallyfound a FSA wrench, at performance.
Weather will make my decision; if it's shitty out when I get off work I'll bus out there. I'm hoping to have it done enough to be ready to true for monday's .83 shop-night.

well, no one wants to give me a hand, and it seems I am excluded from the next wrench party, I should probally just bring them back.

It was Joby's idea and I quite agree, after the lack of brewski's at the last party. I, AS MASTER OF MY DOMAIN, might make an excption for some of you. Stephen, you can come! Tacoma Dude, who the fuck are you?
