Hi all,
For your entertainment, and perhaps as a remainder how things change and yet remain the same, I bring you link to a scanned-in copy of a book about wheelbuilding.
Wheelbuilding instructions circa 1977
If you're running low on pet peeves I believe it contains a few gems like "radial wheels ride harsher", and "tying and soldering makes wheels stiffer".
There's also a rather intriguing comparison between the effects of long spokes and springboards...
Enjoy!
