I have finally received two boxes full of shiny bits for the Blender, I'm looking forward to getting the build underway and have already built a Mavic front wheel with a techno lime green front hub you can see the parts in the pic. I haven't built a wheel from scratch before although I have replaced lots of spokes and trued hundreds of wheels. It turned out to be less daunting than I expected, once the rim was laced my truing experience made the rest of the task pretty straight forward, being a bit tentative it took three hours all in but i'm proper happy with the final result, I guess only time will tell if I have truly done a good job. Sorry. No pun intended.
