Hi,
I would like to start building my own wheels. I have been truing wheels for a long time and can do that pretty well, so it the step up to wheel building relatively small?
Also, I have seen in other threads that sometimes it's cheaper to buy a complete wheel, then de-tension and re-tension the spokes. If a wheel you buy is true already, why do you need to bother de-tensioning and re-tensioning?
What determines if the wheel holds it true or not?
