I don't have any advice mate, cause I have got around to doing mine as yet.
But just confirm with Ninja about his jig.
Maybe you can give me some pointers when you done

Ninj is the man to talk to mate - I think he built his last set and has a jig. Been meaning to have a go myself. |

Nice one, would be keen hear what jig he used and to what success. Cause there are some fairly cost effective jigs. But everyone swears by the Park Tools 2 which is £233 alone. I been looking at this http://www.rushcycles.co.uk/products.ph ... 08s292p812 |

I've built many a wheel in my time and have never used a jig at home. I found with back wheels esier to true in the frame as you can get the dishing right first time. Just get a really good spoke key!! |

/\ What he said. I built all my wheels years ago and never used a jig. I use a set of forks and an old set of v's. |

I have a cheaper version than yours mate with a dishing tool. The name of the game is patience if you are a beginner like me. Nearly 3years now and they are fine. I also have a spoke tensioner you can use, forget all that listening to a sound stuff , thats all well and good if you are experienced.. Im off to work now but I will dig out stuff tomorrow and get in touch. If you dont want to buy a jig you are welcome to use mine. |
