I was funning with you mate, suggesting the wheel isn't building itself. An appropriate response would have been along the lines of "when a daddy rim meets a mummy hub and they really like each other ..." or, more pragmatically, "the bloody wheel won't build itself, YOU have to do something ".

On a serious note, I was going to do it on Sunday but the ruddy MG has its hand in the air for urgent maintenance AGAIN! Speaking of building the wheel, I'll be using the Park Tools tension guage because I lack the experience to judge things by feel as yet. Any thoughts on what tension to aim for? Or just go for Park's recommendation for 14g spokes.
