Sign up for the Wheel Building Class
This 8-hour class offers the full experience of wheel building science and technique. Students will learn about:
- types of rims & spokes
- lacing patterns
- calculating spoke lengths
- spoke tension
- wheel dishing
- truing stands, tensiometers and other tools
- spoke thread preparation
Over the course of the day, every student will build a wheel from start to finish. In a small group setting of no more than four students, this class will be cerebral, hands-on, and fun!
Note: all materials (rim, hub, spokes, tools) will be provided for building a practice wheel during the class. (Note: wheel not included with the class fee).
A recommended reading list will be provided by the instructor after sign-up.
Upcoming dates for our courses are listed below and on the CAT Bicycling Classes Calendar.
