Wheel Building

Hi,
Finally seems DSS are getting both DID rims in stock shortly so I've ordered these up and am just wondering what tools are worthwhile / essential.

I guess a spoke spanner - Amazon have a few different ones but any recommendations very welcome

Is a stand of some kind essential / useful / just another dust-collecting bit of kit for the garage?

Cheers,
Andy

Hi Andy

I think a stand is a must

If you want where are you are I am willing to post my one I made for my wheel build as now my wheels are done I don’t need it anymore and if I did need one I would just make up fabricate another one like I did first time

Ditto the stand - got mine from flea bay for £65 - not cheap but time you've faffed around could be easier also a spoke spanner Sealey do one for about £12 would send you the ebay link but not sure how to do it. If you're an engineer though a stand would be a doddle to make up!
Plus also buy as much patience as you can afford and tea/coffee and when it gets frustrating walk away! Good news about DS having stock in, still waiting for replacement front rim from duff batch they sent me.

I will have to redo the easy way
