Tx Dave, gonna be honest here, for all the mechanical acumen I have managed to muster in my life, wheel building is not in it and I have tried, been quite awhile so may be time to revisit.
Your tutorial confirmed my trepidation on this where it requires skill, patience and far more understanding than I have for this.
I have a rim replacement that needs to happen and I may try to see if the new rim will allow just swapping the rim, I suspect not and will see if I can suss it out. I have a wheel builder that will backstop me and take it over if necessary or actually when.
Oh and
on the tire choice, love these as many here don't, think they really look the part and ride very well for me. I also get great service out of regular Gatorskins as well and find both for great deals regularly.
