Comments on: Today I Built A Wheel http://www.weon.co.uk/2006/07/30/today-i-built-a-wheel A distinct lack of style Mon, 01 Dec 2008 18:47:07 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.5 By: Owen http://www.weon.co.uk/2006/07/30/today-i-built-a-wheel#comment-5482 Owen Tue, 08 Aug 2006 14:13:11 +0000 http://www.weon.co.uk/?p=196#comment-5482 I thought about taping the rims together but the old was was so pringled it would have been very tricky to get them side by side! Got a bargain front wheel off eBay too, complete with tyre and tube, pretty much new and looks like it's off a Marin (if the Ovation hub is any indicator) for 24 quid. Hurrah! Now I just need to find time to paint the frame and build it up. I thought about taping the rims together but the old was was so pringled it would have been very tricky to get them side by side!

Well done on your wheel,. it's always nice to do them. if you’re swapping the rim then you could just tape a new rim to the old and transfer the spokes one by one.. just a little quicker then taping the spokes together.
