Just have to push myself to finally calculate the spoke legnths and order the spokes and brass nipples (Unfortunately, the spoke legnth calculators on the internet do not have these older hubs and rims in their database.).
It’s always good practice to measure the hubs and rims to ensure you have what you think you have anyway.

When it’s all done, you’ll be the American who’s ready to take on the Badger!
