I learnt by putting all the spokes in the hub first then doing one side, then the other. http://colinengel.blogspot.com/2008/02/third-wheel.html pretty fun stuff once it gets ingrained, though i make way more mistakes 3+ beers in. and lacing is definitely more fun than truing.

Now I'm worrying about mine. I noticed when I removed my wheel last night that my locknut was loose. It's possible that I didn't tighten it enough when I installed the spacers but I'll definitely keep my eye on it now just in case something else wonky goes on with it. p.s. I defintely want to take that wheel building course now. I just bought a (machine built) Formula/Deep V wheelset this Feb. and the rear spokes already seem under-tensioned. I think going up the escarpment every day is doing a number on them. It'd definitely be in my best interest to at least learn to true a wheel. Hopefully when they're hand trued they'll hold the tension better. (longer) Actually…. if they’re cracking they might be too hard and brittle. Now I’m worrying about mine.

Those are some solid skills, and you can use it a currency to pay off old favors, gambling debts, and addictions. Congrats on the build!

Then I had to zig zag all over London trying to find a spacer that was the right size. I also learned recently that it is possible to tighten your wheel too much.

If all Keith had to do was tension and eyeball the work that's pretty damn good. I'm impressed.
