A friend suggested finding this book. While there is a LOT of technical info in the beginning, the actual instruction is very well done and easy to understand. I’m headed to my LBS to get measured sor and buy some spokes and nipples and give it a go. Highly recommended. ### ⭐⭐⭐ Lots of good, practical info, but some inaccurate info. Sheldon's web info is better. *by J***S on Reviewed in the United States on July 11, 2018* Jobst Brandt was the father of documenting bicycle mechanics. Brandt, along with Sheldon Brown and a few others, are the underpinning of modern self-help bicycle information.However, the book highlights Brandt being a bit of a zealot. He finds one bit of info, and decides he alone has interpreted engineering correctly.From a practical standpoint, it works, but some of his info is false. He spends so much time arguing against one wrong interpretation that he misses that his own interpretation is also inaccurate. This was a big turn-off.For Example:In the past, people said hubs hang off the top of the rim, which is false. He insists that pre-tension of the spoke allows it to literally be a compression member, and that the hub rests on the bottom spokes. This also is false. It "effectively" is a compression member, but literally, it is not. Literally, the hub hangs off of the sides of the rim. The weight tries to elongate the rim horizontally, and the side spokes pull back against it. As such, the hub hangs off of the spokes which are nearly parallel to the ground. There are computer models in color on the internet which show the loading. It confirms the hub does not hang off the top spokes (Brandt's true claim) but also that it does not "rest" on the bottom spokes (Brandt's false claim). ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It's all in here *by M***X on Reviewed in the United States on November 7, 2020* I just built a set of three cross wheels for my bike and used this book as a guide. This book has most everything you could want to know about wheels and wheelbuilding. I only used a smidgen of the book to get done what I needed done, but there is a lot of info on offer here. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sg/products/79777201-the-bicycle-wheel](https://www.desertcart.sg/products/79777201-the-bicycle-wheel) --- *Product available on Desertcart Singapore* *Store origin: SG* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
