Introduction to Wheelbuilding

Building your own bicycle wheels can bring a great sense of satisfaction. Wheel building also adds a bit of artistry to the repertoire of the bike mechanic.

During our one-day course, you will learn how to:

  • calculate spoke lengths
  • assess lacing options and lace a three cross wheel
  • produce a rear wheel that is both correctly dished and radially/laterally true
  • use a spoke tensiometer

We will provide all the tools and parts for this wheel building course. Trainees will build a 36 spoke rear wheel for rim brakes.

It is also a recommended add-on to our Velotech Gold courses.

For more information, contact us on 029 20616783 or info@cycletrainingwales.org.uk.

“Came away a lot more confident with attempting to build a wheel. The course was run in a relaxed manner and no question was too much for Jon to answer. Look forward to my next course.”

“Great place to go to get yourself a bike. No need to spend hundreds just get one second hand. Good communication, they even adjust the seat and handlebars to suit your height etc. My partner is very pleased with her bike and it looks brand new! Highly recommended.”

Jake Doherty

“Sustainability has worked with CTW successfully for a number of years, with sessions every month on Campus. They provide bike servicing for staff, students and the local community as part of our free Repair Café events. It’s a service to all to promote sustainable cycle travelling to Campus and the benefits of repair. They are so knowledgeable and as well as fixing on site they provide great friendly honest advice.”

“We visited today and picked a bike for my 6 year-old. He got to try it out and you fixed the brakes as they were a bit squeaky! Very covid safe! Excellent bike and my boy loves it. Great it has a 3-month warranty too!”

I’d just like to say a massive ‘Thank You’ to the boys and girls at Cardiff Cycle workshop. They’ve done absolute wonders for my bike over the years! It’s was an old heavy Peugeot which I bought from new in about 1990. Although I used it regularly, it was getting too heavy for me, so the team changed the wheels for ones that were much lighter; put some super duper tyres on them, and on top of that, replaced the old hard saddle for a brand new very comfortable one. I make sure that I get my bike serviced regularly with them too. Such a friendly bunch too-always time for a chat. There is nothing they don’t know about bikes. Highly recommended!
