Building Wheels

 As my Christmas and birthday gifts unite, I have just begun to build my first set of wheels. Building wheels has, for me, always had an intimidation factor to it. I've had no problem working on every other part of a bike but the wheel is my next step. Let me just say that so far I have been pleasantly surprised with how straight forward everything has been but let's see when I start getting to the fine tuning when I get towards the end of truing these wheels!

Right now I'm setting up a pair of Velocity Fusion's to Origin 8 hubs. Both of which were picked up at Cranky's (thanks again Randi). I'll keep you updated on the status of these wheels as they get closer to completion!
