Ok, I need to build IAB a new front wheel. I have the Jobst Brandt book, a dishing tool, truing stand, a spoke wrench and an xt hub.
Although some of the book made me yawn and lose interest, here's what I got out of it:
Rim - aluminum. What Mavic rim for IAB - he's a masher and a hucker.
Spokes - Stainless steel DTs. Straight are easier to work with and swaged are more durable but harder to true. Which kind should I get?
Nipples - brass
