The Wheel Building Masterclass with Vince Warner Ready to Elevate Your Wheel Building Skills? Imagine Building Every Wheel with Confidence and Precision. That's What Mastery Feels Like. I started to learn to build wheels in 1967. My dad always said if you can count to 4 you can learn to build wheels, and as soon as I could count to 4 he had to prove to everybody that he was right. I was approaching my 4th birthday when he took me into his workshop and started to show me his trade secrets. I don't for one moment think you need to start at 3 years old to become an excellent wheel builder, but I do believe you need to be shown the techniques clearly by an experienced craftsman.

Some FAQ from Learners: Question: What are the minimum things you should take out with you when you go out on your ride? Answer: Mike: Drinks, banana/gels, mobile phone (charged), multi-tool, spare inner tube, puncture repair kit, tyre levers, CO2 cartridge and/or pump, emergency cash and a spare 'magic' chain link. You might also consider extra rain-protective clothing and a mini-chain tool. A motor-pacing scooter can also be handy! And if you are riding to get away from it all forget the phone. Question: How often should you clean your bike if you're riding 2-3 times a week or more? Is there any particular method you'd advise following? Mike: After every ride! Degrease your chain and any other oil-soiled components first - (I use a chain cleaning tool Car Plan degreaser), then clean with a proprietary detergent, rinse off, dry, lubricate the chain. Check cable operation and lubricate if necessary. Experts created the Beginner Bike Maintenance course to provide a rich and in-depth training experience for all students who enrol in it.
