TwiZted Biker,I searched, endlessly it seemed, for reliable instructions. Then, I found this from HD training. This made it simple!

I've got the wheel pretty damned straight. If I'd been able to locate the chart on rim/hub dimension before today, I'd be done, with a perfectly trued wheel.

Just to update anyone who was interested. I managed to get the right spokes, lace up the wheel and true it perfectly. It's not as hard as some folks make it out to be. I appreciate all the feedback I got to help me along!

Awesome video. Sure wish Algore would have invented the internet sooner, so I could see how to assemble a wheel back in 1974, when I did my first wheel assembly.

A perennial crowd pleaser of an insult, this is nonetheless a false assertion each time it’s uttered. But, given the casual snark with which you tossed this off, I’m sure you already knew that.
