    O.K. so after several years and several wheels as well, my online spoke calculator disappears into cyber-space! I'm pretty sure there are some cats here building wheels, hopefully you will be so kind to share your resources. I have found and used another with less than stellar results. I am...

    Need suggestions for a beefy tire!

    Here's the deal, my 380 lb. Neighbor has finally done in his rear wheel! I have revived it two other times and pronounced it D.O.A. when last we met. I have already found/decided on the hoops, but his tires are totally shot as well. They were nice tires, and a 15 lb. over inflation was a must...

    Offset lace query

    I have a disc brake hub that I am currently looking to lace to a wider wheel. Due to the configuration of the hub body, a 12mm offset would be needed to center the wheel. I have built several wheels at this point, but never done an offset lace up as of yet. So I was curious if a 12mm offset is...

    Worthy of mention

    We all deal with people of the"ME" persuasion, probably more than any of us would like to. You know what I'm talking about, those folks who could care less about anybody/anything that doesnt benefit themselves. It's all about ME, who cares about anyone else? So when you find an individual that...

    Phat XC-1 ready to rock!

    Scored this Mon. after Fathers day. It was not w/o a few small issues, but it is clean, tight and ready to rock now! The chain line was totally off in factory configuration. The chain would rub the tire if you didnt offset the tire severely. Thanks to Dr. Tankenstein hipping me to the fact that...
