  • Taking photos to go with the blog I just posted. May be of minor interest to builders who plot wheel tension (site linked in profile, then pick blog from the nav menu). . . . . #doyouevenplotbro #basketoftensiometers #canwelinkyetinstagram #handbuiltwheels #bicycle #wheelbuilding #wheelfanatyk #parktool #tensiometer #workbench

  • Customer brought me a NOS Crest rim. Could be the last one of these I'll ever build. Soft spot in my ❤️ for these rims and, unscientifically, it seems people who ride them are all about fun. . . . . #handbuiltwheels #bicycle #wheelbuilding #stansnotubes #stanscrest #sapim #sapimdlight #parktool #wheelfanatyk
