I try and build all my own wheels. I learned when I was in HS working at the LBS. We had a contrac t to build all the richskaw wheels you see on the waterfront and in hawaii. We woud also buy all of our wheel goods for the year and build them all winter. The manner I learned was to put all teh spokes in the hub at once and then lace the rim. I use an online spoke calculator...much faster than the sutherlands and I have not been let down yet!
