My passion for building wheels started in 1995 after putting together a set of wheels using Mavic Reflex SUP rims, Campagnolo 8-speed hubs and Wheelsmith Aero spokes. I was very fortunate to have had the privilege of purchasing the Wheelsmith Tensiometer, Spoke Calculator and Spoke Prep directly from the Wheelsmith bike store located on Hamilton Avenue in Palo Alto at the time.
I still have the original wheelset and will share a picture of them on my next blog post.
