Wheelbuilding 

Instructor: Andy

Participants will be guided through selecting wheel components, calculating spoke lengths, lacing, truing, and tensioning a complete bicycle wheel. In past series, we split this course into four separate days which often resulted in scheduling conflicts. For this series, we’ll have two sessions – one evening weekday class where we’ll cover selecting and ordering components, then once parts arrive we’ll complete the wheel build in one Sunday session. 

Dates: 

• Wednesday September 10th, 6:30-8:30pm
• Sunday September 21st, 10 – 5pm. We will take an hour lunch break from 1-2pm

Tuition does not include wheel components. At minimum, please budget at least $70 for a rim and spokes. If you’re not sure what spacing your frame needs, please bring the bike so that we can measure it at the first class.
