Fantastic insight into wheel building and what a privilege to see my actual dynamo wheel getting built! So far, so good; I've done a 15k commute and a 70k ride on rolling terrain to test them out and am so pleased on how well they roll and I can't say I notice any extra drag from the dynamo. Paul was very easy to communicate with via email and I managed to get exactly what I was looking for - a high-spec, bomb-proof dynamo wheelset for long, multi-day adventures. Thanks for your help Paul.
A fascinating insight into the dark art of wheel building. I have always fancied giving this a go, but will most likely leave this task to the pros. With your passion for Brompton’s, do you rebuild the rear wheels when the rims are looking a bit well used? My Brompton is a 2012 model.
Thank you for your kind comments and for watching 🙌 And yes we do. If you are interested in us building you one contact Paul through the website and he’ll put a quote together for you. Happy Cycling!
I'd build myself a dynamo wheel, but only if it had an integrated rectifier, regulator with USB C outlet at the stem. Maybe embedded conductor in the fork and stem. Until then.
Do you work out the spoke length? :)) It's an interesting bit of 3D geometry, though I've never fully worked it out. I think, in the main, it's looked up via tables, though I can see other ways of doing it.
Hi Norman, great thanks. Will let Paul know and he’ll come back to you. And thank you! The website in this form is maybe 5 years old but we regularly update it 👍 Happy Cycling, Sarah

Great to hear and thanks so much for the kind words and watching the video. These were a favourite to build for sure. Happy cycling !
Building hand built wheels is a proper art form and Paul is a master at it. Thanks for sharing this video Velo works.
What a lovely comment! Thank you and thanks again for watching 🙌💙
Perfect.
🙌🙌
Love your videos and your enthyasim 🙂
Thanks so much ! That’s great to hear you like them and appreciate you taking the time to comment 👍

Can the wheel be built in front forks or do you need a jig?
You always need a jig 👍 (wheel truing stand)

Hi, yes there are lots of online calculators you can use and this is the best and most accurate way to do it. Thanks for watching and commenting
Hello Paul, dropped you a query via the website - which looks great by the way. Is it new?
Hi Norman, great thanks. Will let Paul know and he’ll come back to you. And thank you! The website in this form is maybe 5 years old but we regularly update it 👍 Happy Cycling, Sarah
Nice vid im building a shimano front dynamo 700c wheel would you recommend a 2 cross set up or 3 cross set up
Its a dhc 3000 thanks
Hi, thanks for watching. It depends on how many spokes you are running?!
@@veloworks9266 32 spokes
@@cezrok5405 3 cross then 👍
