The Sacramento Bicycle Kitchen will be conducting a very limited number of free wheel building classes. For the classes, all required tools (truing stand, tensiometer, nipple driver, spoke wrench, lubricants, etc.) will be available for your use, and materials (hub, spokes, and rim) will be provided.
The classes are “hands-on,” designed to provide you with skills to build and maintain your wheels. This is not an academic or theoretical class.
Topics to be covered include, but not limited to:
· Lacing the wheel
· Truing the wheel
· Replacing broken spokes
· Calculating required spoke length
· Wheel dishing
· Different spoke patterns/designs
Students will have the option of building their own wheelset.
If you are interested in signing up for a class (TBD) you MUST attend an informational seminar on May 20, 2013, Monday, 7:30pm – 8:30pm. Email info@sacbikekitchen dot org to sign up.
