Winter build

Now is the season to build, and this time it isn't my typical vintage stuff. I'll be getting bits and bobs for the next couple of months, the frame doesn't come until January. So I'll post pictures of stuff as it comes in. To start, I will build some wheels, and for the record, internal nipples are a PITA.

High flange hubs



Rims

Cambria may sell an inexpensive spoke, but thet sent me straight gauge instead of double-butted.

I guess the wheels will have to wait until next weekend.

Check them with a gauge/caliper. I have gotten some I thought looked straight, but actually measure out as butted. The transitions are getting really smooth and hard to see.

They DID send me silver instead of black nipples once though...

Nope, they are straight gauge, 2mm everywhere. But I called Cambria today, they were really cool and sent out DB spokes today. I should have them by Wednesday so I have something to do over the long weekend.

So how do you loosen and tighten the spokes?

So, you can't true a wheel or replace a spoke without taking off a tire? Now that is a serious PITA.

Yep. I am tempting the cycling gods.

But, >knocks on wood<, I burn through tires long before I need to true. I'll check the spokes at those times.

I figured you were talking about a period in your training plan.

That's a very TT/Triathlon looking saddle you've got there Mister.

So... campy components. TT saddle... what else?
