I successfully built my first wheel today. It's a good feeling to successfully complete my first wheel lacing. I built a 3 speed wheel for my drop bar commuter bike, using a 700c Sun CR18, Sturmey Archer SRF3, and basic Wheelsmith spokes. The Sturmey hub made things easy, as it allowed for a symmetrical build. It took me a few hours to get things just right. I had my laptop close by, with Sheldon Brown's wheelbuilding page at the ready.

I was thankful for the wheelbuilding advice I found here on the forums.
