Yes, tools and shop space I have. I don't have a decent bike stand yet and no wheel truing equipment. I have built wheels before, for both bicycles and motorcycles.

Which would you think would be more accurate? I installed Strava last night and used them both today (MMR & Strava). Everything was pretty much the same except elevation gain; MMR listed it at 1235' but Strava showed 1406', I consider that substantial.
