I talked to Phil today and he wants the people attending to just be sure to bring enough cash to pay for the class on Saturday. He thought this would be easier than making faktura's for everyone.

Now you know.

Ser kul ut. Får väl se till att gå en eventuell nästa gång.

Sen är det väl bara att sätta igång och samla verktyg.

Bra att ha en stilettkniv när man bygger hjul...

I'm so jealous of Marks hubs, MASH-Phil Wood...can't be cheap!

Are you coming to the Velo Sthlm happening Mark? I must try your bike, didn't have enough time when we met...

Thanks everyone!

I had a great time and am so happy to finally solve the blackhole of wheelbuilding. It's actually pretty straight forward (easy to say now). Thanks Phil, and everyone else. I learned a lot and more than anything, I'm not intimidated by building a pair of wheels anymore.

I know a lot of people who were originally interested had to drop out because of whatever reason, so Phil said that he enjoyed it so much that he could definitely consider doing another wheelbuilding class later on, or any other kind of wrenching class for that matter. Someone would need to organize it though...

Speedman, thanks for the pics and your a trouper putting up with your broken clavicle and all. Much respect!

See you guys out there on the road.

Funky Hub Mark... ;)
