I like to do it with some classical music in the background. My favorite set I've assembled is a pair of 32 spoke track wheels on Dura Ace track hubs, with 14g straights on the drive side and 15/17 on the non-drive and front. I've put them through their paces over the years and they still roll as true as ever.
I have built up 5 bikes from the ground up but never wheels! They seemed too complicated to do and the one thing I never ventured out to do. Maybe someday I will try that next!
