I was able to resist the call of cheap carbon rims but bootleg speedblends is what finally gives me FOMO. :confused_cowboy:

so i should get a second pair right? tbh keeping a spare on hand isn’t the worst idea…

come through and i’ll look it up and fumble through it again.

it’s not bad though, something that many “not a mechanic” folks can do just fine. measurements, planning, and a lot of skip-two-three-go, skip-two-three-go, then patiently slowly balancing things out.

more intimidating than it needs be

seconding Sheldon’s guide. There are more in-depth books, but this is the one I learned with.

Thirding Sheldon’s instructions. I printed this set out like 15 years ago and still refer to it.

highly recommend Brandt’s “The Bicycle Wheel”, very very clear explanation, in just a few pages.
