Wheelbuilding Course

[Johan Bornman]

I'm presenting a wheelbuilding course sometime during the second week of December. I have two candidates who are flexible regarding the timing and are thus prepared to fall in with other candidates.

 

This is a two-day course covering the theoretical and practical side of wheelbuilding. Each student will have to build two wheels of their own.

 

Day one covers mostly theory and lacing, day two, tensioning and truing.

 

The course will suit someone who wants to build wheels professionally, a mechanic who wants to up his skills or someone who simply wants to build a set of wheels here and there for own use and friends.

 

Due to the nature of the supervision and assistance, your first two wheels will be perfect, albeit slow in building.Practice will increase your speed.

 

The cost of this course is R2500-00 and excludes hubs, spokes, rims and nipples. Each student will calcualte his/her own spoke lenghs using techniques learnt on the course and cut and thread spokes to the exact required lenghts. Lunches and refreshments are provided on both days.

 

I have a course overview document I can send should you be interested.
