So I have a great pair of vintage Dura Ace hubs laced to a not-so-great set of Matrix tubular rims. I was able to find a set of new, polished clinchers that will go better with the bike and save me the hassle of dealing with the tubulars.

I am wondering if anyone can recommend a good book or web resource for someone trying to build their first set of wheels? I have come across some good info so far, but want something more comprehensive. Also, interested in some interesting lacing combos.

Thanks!!

I second Wade's recommendation. This book is the real deal.
