Yes Mike I will do the wheels myself, very satisfying job. As Ted says some good videos on YouTube. If it’s something you think you could have a go at it’s a very handy skill to have. I thought if I can do it anybody can. Many years ago I read a bicycle maintenance book which contained a section on wheel truing. After mucking about with bicycle wheels i managed reasonable results in straightening and truing up.

Somewhere in tricksntips i did a write up on the easy way to do it

I'm looking forward to building my wheels but what should I do to the hubs first? I was thinking of throughly cleaning it, giving the outer flanges a bit of a polish and then getting them clear powder coated?

Thanks Ted! I have a lot to do before I get to that stage but I may have a go. I have read elsewhere about making sure the offset is the same; is there any info that also explains that?
