Adventures in Wheel Building Part 2 - Building a Rear Bicycle Wheel

After the demise of my Kona Bug Honzo's stock rear wheel I set out to build a new one. Gathering the right tools for the job, I purchased a new Park Tool Truing stand the TS 2.2 and in part 1 mounted it to a base. In Part 2 I actually use actual no-magic to put the wheel together!

Cool series, I'm super curious to try wheel building out, seems like such a satisfying structure to assemble

[@NigelMarston]

It's a rarity to find a cyclist prepared to build their own wheels. Including you and me, I only know of three people amongst a large number of cyclists that do. It's very satisfying, and allows you that extra level of granularity when specifying components for your bike.
My initial fear was understanding how to get the right length spokes but I found an on-line calculator and haven't looked back since.
I must get myself a Park Tool stand one day. I should build the cost into the very next wheel I build instead of using tie-wraps and a dab of white paint (again). I mean, the tie-wraps work but it's a bit of a faff and I'm sure I'd get to the end result quicker with the right kit.

Thanks Nigel 😃 I'm not sure where it all stops, I now have a deep need to build a frame 🤣

@@BicycleAdventureClub I have lost sight of whether I need more tools to do more things, or I need to do more things to justify buying more tools.
