[OHPV-list] Wheel building seminar: November 19th

[Jeff Wills]

Hiya-

Just a reminder for those of you who missed it the first time around- and a
little prodding:

> -----Original Message-----
> Here's the plan. We'll get together after the RARE ride
> on Saturday, November 19th at about 3PM at a place to be determined-
> possibly Terracycle or Lonnie Morse's house. We'll all bring the
> necessary parts and tools, and I'll teach you my methods for building
> long-lasting bicycle wheels. Along the way, we'll also discuss the plusses
> and minuses of different spoke patterns, materials, and tools.
>
> At a minimum, you'll need:
> a rim
> a hub
> a collection of spokes
> a spoke wrench
> a truing stand
>
> optional tools: electric screwdriver or spoke spinner, like this:

> Expect to spend several hours- my methods are reliable, but
> not fast. We'll also have a few breaks while I jabber and draw pictures.


So far I've heard from Todd, Lonnie, Kirke, Sylvia, Tweety, and Bill Pullen.
Anyone else interested?

By now, you should have figured out which parts you're going to use and
either have them in hand or on order. You might be able to do gather the
part at the last minute, but it's tougher that way. Different length spokes
are sometimes hard to find, so don't dawdle!

(Bill- did I ever answer your question about the correct spoke length for
your parts? I can't remember.)

The next question is where to do this. I kind of like Terracycle because
it's got lots of space, a whiteboard, and we can take a break at It's A
Beautiful Pizza. With only 7 or 8 of us, though, we could probably all work
in Lonnie's garage, where it's warmer and there's a kitchen a couple feet
away.

Does anyone have a preference? (I haven't made up my mind, yet.)
