The Bicycle Wheel by Jobst Brandt

[Supersix EVO]

Does anyone know where I can get a copy of this book in South Africa?

Johan Bornman used to have copies for sale.

 

If you are looking for a manual, Roger Musson's book is awesome.

 

Brandt's is much more dry - incredibly detailed, lots of science behind the art.

 

I have a copy of Brandt's book, but I found for a practical "how to guide", I would go for Musson's first.

Thanks I will go for Musson's like you suggested.

Good choice.

 

You go to the website, pay and download via the link.

 

I have received my first update, so you are always assured of the latest edition.

I have both...

 

They have very similar philosophies on wheelbuilding. Musson just a lot easier to follow. Also: if you print out the digital copy, you can write in it and make notes as you go along.

Agree 100% - that's exactly what I did.

 

If you become a professional wheel-builder, the Brandt's book is the reference material.
