Took my Pacenti 32h rear wheel out for our group ride this morning, covered about 64 miles, went through several cattleguards, and came down hard at speed towards a couple of dry low-water crossings...came home, rechecked everything - ALL GOOD.
 Other than the advice I had been getting from old pal and using Roger Musson book - the other thing I would say is - de-stressing the spokes and doing it often and throughout the whole build has helped set things in place. If anything, I think I over-did it....but like Roger said, de-stressing is something you can't do too much...better to find out that things have shifted during the build rather than during the ride. As it turned out, he's RIGHT!

Won't fit!
Bummer!
Discovered that Pacenti + Rock n Road won't fit between my Merlin Ti Cyclocross bike chainstays...To Bruce Gordon's credit, he posted the exact dimensions and the allowance needed on his website, I was so confident that it will work on my Merlin that I didn't even bother to measure...

I am also addicted to wheel building and have a few new ones to build this winter break. Disassembled 2 old disc wheels i had around also to make them a bit lighter. My wife calls it my zen moment nowadays.

[QUOTE=weisan;1879357]crash pal, funny you should mention about dismantling old wheels...I caught myself scanning around my garage and looking at some old pre-built wheels and thinking about stripping them down and re-building them up just for the heck of it...I can almost hear them screamin''....no, not me, pick her...please sir, spare us... bwaaahaaaa bwahhaaa...that's my goblin side coming out.
Zen indeed! The place for prebuilt wheels.

Wheel Build #4
Just finished another build this morning. Needed a disc rear wheel so went ahead and cannibalized one of the rims off a pre-built. Getting better at it too, starting from lacing to complete balanced and trued takes about 2.5 hrs. Pardon the mismatching nipple, trying to use what I have instead of ordering more. The spokes actually came "used" from Yellow Bike Project, found them bundled up with a rubble band, all 285mm, paid close to nuthin' for them. According Spoke Calc, Left spoke length: 286.3, Right spoke length: 285.4, decided that they are close enough so use the same length (285) for both sides, worked out fine.
H Plus Son Archetype 32h + Shimano M525A Disc Hub
