here is an update...

on the wheel build.

chris king iso disc hub.
mavic seven one seven xc disc rim.
wheelsmith spokes.
as you are able to see...i've got everything marked and membered. the rim is labeled. so is the hub. i put spoke prep on the spokes last night and let it dry. today i began putting on the spokes themselves. sixteen are done. sixteen more to go. not sure when i will get to it again. but the journey of a thousand steps begins with one.

i would like to thank rogue for all of his help. he is my bike guru. my sensei. i bow to your buddhahood. namaste.
