Hey, I know it is way early to think about Cirque '10, but I already have one student interested in my day-long, hands-on wheelbuilding class. If another five people want to get to Leesburg a day early, I will have truing stands, work space, spokes and other tools to teach people to build wheels. In this one-day course, you will lace your wheels, tension and true them, and if you do all your homework, you will also learn where to find and how to use a couple of different spoke lenghth calculators. The class will cost $150.
Let me know off-list if you are interested, and an approximate arrival time in Leesburg on Thursday before Cirque '10.
