i'll drink!!!

actually maybe not, I need to go out to something now. crap.

scott, the other wheelbuilding book i have besides the brandt one is by gerd schraner. seeing that my hubs won't be in for 1.5-2 weeks, you can borrow it if you feel the need to consult another source. i have both books for some reason.

i was torn between the two.

but the bicycle mechanics fourms told me to get the one by brandt.
after i'm finished with it, i might take you up on the offer if i'm not a pro wheel builder by that point.

are you cutting and threading your own spokes?

uhhh...

threading them maybe...cutting?

this is why i have the book.

I'm about to attack my [stuck] seat post. Wish me luck. I am armed with a lubricant, hacksaw and a drill.

haha i didnt check this for a while... might be going to the publick house in a bit though, not sure. our friend scott who lives in like foxboro came in after work and we're doing something once my roomate gets back. we could just get drunk(er) tomorrow at the otherside.

agreed... lauren just offered her house for an after party. shhhhh, i didn't tell you this. P.S. she lives only a few blocks from the other side.

Its always fun to see people get progressively drunker over bikeforums... YEAH! see you guys tomorrow.

listen like, luke, dude././.....

DUDE!

i actually forgot why i was doing this.,.... these mus be a reason...wait... progressively? drunk? listen... i'm goinjg to sit you down one day before you leave the town that calls you home, and make you drink a whole lot a bottle of whiskey......

you can't get away THAT easy/.... woah woah har de har what? listen.... it's on duem w


editz/////// thatr tool me like 30 muniyes to recoVeR

no ****ing way! my girlfriend only lives there and all.

I hope you're not going to try to cut/thread your own spokes. It's much more practical for anyone who doesn't build 100's of wheels a week to just buy pre-cut spokes to the right length. You barely even save money doing it yourself, you just don't have to keep every length in stock. Plus, unless you have a friend with the uber-expensive machine to thread them, you're looking at quite the investment.

ahh ha, thanks jacob. I had all intensions to buy pre cut and threaded spokes for one reasons.

i didn't even know you could buy them uncut and unthreaded

I'm also not up to par with my wheel building lingo, the word I was looking for was .....LACING.

You guys, scott specifically, are ****ing rediculous. Have fun for me tonight kiddos.

ZOMG this is the begining of my last week in Boston. Lets hope for good weather and tons of bike rides!

Phil's spoke cutting/threading machine is over $3000, just as an example of the cost involved. Most places don't have these things.

Who's ready to rip?

rip butts

the weather looks mild this coming week, and i only work till 4ish, so lets ride bikes every night! also my bike is temporarily blinged with a 16 spoke shimano front wheel that landry's lent me while they get me a new axle. I'll post pictures of what my bike looked like after meeting some black ice while attempting to go to work on thursday morning when I get back to boston.
