Wheel Build Inspiration

February 21, 2015 3 Comments

We all need a little inspiration, someone like us or as we hope to be, radiating confidence and expertise. Artistic eye-candy absent overstatement so epidemic these days. Watch these three clips that epitomize the simplicity and beauty wheel building craft embodies. Wonderful camera work. Check the P&K stands!

Lightwolf (Germany)

STRADA (UK)

Ric – is the pencil shaped tool shown at the 24 second mark of the Lightwolf video used to keep the spoke from twisting when the spoke wrench is being turned? I’ve never seen a tool like this but it makes sense (perhaps I missed it in your Wheel Building Tip series). Thanks. Tom

As a prelude to the Oscars, Lightwolf wins best bicycle wheel building video. Thanks for posting these videos – I never would have discovered them on my own. Tom
