Join us for an evening of mechanical mastery for a partial hands-on workshop where Musette Bike Rentals will bring in former pro wheelbuilder Seth Snyder to delve us into the art and science of assembling wheels built to last 100,000 miles.
This workshop will be capped to accommodate ample work space at Specialized's community meeting room so sign up good and early to guarantee your spot.
Our journey through the 7 steps of pro-level wheelbuilding will include:
Specification and Tools for the Job: We'll explore the purpose, compatibility, strength, and weight of components, ensuring your wheel stands the test of time.
Calculation: Measure twice, build once! Dive into the precise measurements needed for hub, rim, and spoke lengths.
Assembly: Learn the delicate dance of wheel assembly, from material prep to that crucial first spoke.
Tensioning: Discover the art of truing, mastering both lateral and vertical adjustments with finesse.
Dishing: We'll delve into the depths of dish measurement and offset techniques to keep your wheel spinning true.
Stressing: Let's talk stress – on spokes, that is! Uncover the secrets of settling spokes for maximum durability.
Truing: The final frontier of wheel building. Learn the last-minute tweaks and adjustments that separate the good from the great.
