Default Wheel building


Are there any good threads on wheel building. I have seen a few on spoke
length and hub stuff, but haven't seen one that specifically talks about
lacing rims. I am a rank beginner but have trued a few rims before.
Could someone also tell me if they know anything about Alex MX22 rims.
Thanks

Two words - Jobst Brandt. Buy the book. It's got more and better info
than any thread could contain.

Don't forget we have a spoke calculator specially set up for unicycles
(no dishing) and it has a list of most of the hubs.
