I just try to pass on words of wisdom!
Lots of heartache, money and experience when it comes to breaking wheels. Even those built by high end pro shops. I've learned I was just a number so I started building my own. Much cheaper and far better quality. After going thru 6 or 7 shops, I found one guy that could build a set that lasted under my heavy bod. Now I'm #2!
Flip ought to start there when it comes to learning to work on his own.
Sheldon Brown has some good stuff on his wheel build site.
