Have you ever wanted to learn how to build your own set of wheels? Well, now is your chance to learn everything from lacing to truing to tensioning. No experience needed for this 2-day class. The class is 3 hours each day and is limited to 4 students.
Students should bring a new hub, new rim, and new spokes with them. We have spokes to purchase, but if you need them please contact us ahead of time so that we can ensure you get the correct length. Students who don't wish to build their own wheel can use shop components for the class. Please let us know in advance if you would like to do that. Also, due to ease of learning, we will not let students build a wheel out of used components.
