i don't mean to single out joe young, or peter white, or any "known" wheel builder, but what's the difference between a nationally known builder and the local LBS guy, who is a top notch mechanic, but maybe doesn't have a reputation for building the best wheels in the country, but seems competent enough.
is there some kind of black art to it?
i'm looking to build a set of training wheels. here are the specs:
record hubset
32 spokes - type and brand undecided
ambrosia excellight clincher rims
i weigh 155-160 lbs, depending on where we are in the season, and i will use these for training rides, and as a back-up in the neutral support truck- maybe even some CX duty.
