“A mechanic who has not mastered this basic skill cannot be considered to be a fully-qualified professional, and will always feel inferior to those who can list wheel building amongst their skills.”

Sheldon Brown

1-day wheel building workshops

For many keen cyclists, wheel building and repair remain the final bicycle maintenance challenge that they face. And yet―as with hill walking―a little bit of knowledge can be a dangerous thing! Have you ever regretted trying to replace a broken spoke or failed to true a buckled wheel?

These days, advice and videos about wheel building are only a mouse-click away on the Internet, but sometimes it is still reassuring to learn new skills in a more personal and guided way, with help and advice close at hand. It’s also a lot more fun learning with others in a group!

I offer two levels of 1-day workshop, both on Saturdays:

Wheel Building 1 - for beginners, provides a solid foundation of knowledge and skills
Wheel Building 2 - for those with wheel building experience, refreshes and extends existing skills and knowledge

If you are looking for a way to improve your understanding of wheels, to master a new skill in a controlled supportive environment, to ride wheels you can trust―and to spend a day doing something really satisfying and useful, this is probably the course for you.
