I've been with Roger since like forever so I'm on my 6 or 7th update - after only ever buying the first one. Try that with anyone else's wheelbuilding book. Roger puts in the new equipment info as it comes out. And if you get the urge (I did and I know how to build wheels!) print off the relevant pages (relevant to you), take them along to your local print shop (Staples up here in Canada) and they will spiral bind it for you and give you a nice colored cover.

Uhh can't you tell I'm from and era that pre-dates the laptop and the tablet?

My first was Roger's 6th - relative n00bie here.

I see some very minor changes in the 7th which are mostly rewording - at least the parts that are relevant to me.

And I just finished my 2nd wheelbuild which I will talk about in a separate post.

I've been with him since he wrote "Always use the finest ash for the spokes". I kid you not.

Wheel look forward to it.

Well ok I am. He's a lot older than I am so he just told me he said it.

It's an amazing book. I bought edition 5, updated to 6, and just today I got the latest one which also has access to the updated spoke length calculator. Kudos to Roger.

Hi @Marcel_M_L and welcome! Roger's e-book is the best investment you will make to learn about wheel building. Follow his directions to the letter and you are just about guaranteed success.

To be quite honest, I haven't built any wheels in a few years, so not sure what addition he is up to. My last update was Edition 7. Though I have to say Edition 6 is perfectly good.
