Bill,
So are you guys going to continue to play Secret Squirrel, or is someone going to spill the nuts?? I'm not in the Secret Society of those in the know as to what Spence used for spoke prep. I've heard what the Wheelsmith stuff is; I wonder if it is anything simular? I wouldn't mind knowing the Spence formula, since I plan to be building my own wheels for most of my projects for the rest of my life. What is the secret handshake??
