Part of what has been frustrating is that even though I am by no means a "pro" wheel builder, I have built up about a dozen sets of wheels over the years and all have turned out very nice. I wonder who taught this kid to build wheels. I can't imagine anyone teaching someone else and *not* mentioning the simple things like where to set the key spoke etc.
