When I built <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/seditiouscanary/2467490377">this Rohloff hub</a>, it was straight forward and I had no issues at all. The thing practically dished and trued itself. I have never build a wheel which took so little effort for such a great result.

Almost insignificant but easy to avoid pitfall:

I suggest paying close attention to the lead and trail spokes' direction around the valve hole to maximize the room for inflation.
The spokes trail at a slightly sharper angle as the spoke length is shortened by the large flange diameter. Its possible that you end up with a bit of a tight gap to insert and remove a pump.

Of course my suggestion comes a bit late in the process...sorry.

Some of us like things. Some of us are just joyless, bitter assholes.

Seat the mushroom into the flange hole.

Built your own Rohloff wheel? Fix it, repair it, how do I do it, what's the best part to use, and now: how do I get there?
