Well, making wheels is not just about throwing a hub, some spokes, and a rim together and hoping, its also about science, and patience and practice and commitment. For the rider it’s also about trust , lots of it. A roll out to the shops at 10 miles an hour can be achieved on any wheel. Would you like to come down or up the Rosedale Chimney on a less than perfect wheel? Iv’e made that wheel. But slowly and carefully…
Long rides are all about faith and trust in the engineering! Then the mind
Nice to see someone out there also believes that making wheels and the stresses are also a work of art. Hoping to do the London Edinburgh London as well.
