    As a community bike shop volunteer, I was always surprised how often people who had no previous experience with building wheels were able to build their own wheel with just a tiny bit of direction.
    One useful concept is embodied in the the unfamiliar word "recursion". --you don't just "tighten the spokes" instead, you tighten slightly, then check true & correct, then check round/hop & correct, then check dish & correct, then check tension & correct, then tighten (again) and then repeat all the above steps. . . the perfect wheel comes from repeated imperfect corrections of the gross deviations until the wheel becomes "perfect".

    I haven't built a wheel for many years. (Of course, I had to count... 60 years [sigh]). Now I've got to get back into it. At least tune all the wheels I've got. I don't need instruction, but you are on spot with this video; I did need that push of motivation. Going to buy that truing stand that has been on my wish list since 2021.

    Building my first wheel set is one of my goals for the next year. Thanks for the great video!

    A great video and I'm now motivated to try and build my own wheels. 🙏

    Great video! I have built quite a few wheels using exactly the methods you described.
