Wheelbuilding is a skilled craft, and the best way to learn any trade or craft is by doing. Even better is to have someone with an expertise who can guide you along, and so for four weekend days this winter, Parallel Handbuilt will be offering a wheelbuilding course.

With this course, you will be able to learn basic wheelbuilding by building off of theoretical and practical instruction. Starting on day one we dive into terminology, basic construction, and tool usage. Day two, three, and four you will begin to build your wheels. Ideally by the end of the fourth day you should be able to go home and throw your wheels in your bike and ride, but if that doesn't work out, there will be loaner truing stands to finish things up later on.

Class size is limited to two people. There will be a wait list of 5 people in case anyone drops out. Classes will be given in Dutch, with probably a little English in between. If Dutch isn’t your thing, please get in touch.

In this course you will build a set of wheels to take home yourself if you’d like. It is also possible to build wheels for the shop if the cost is prohibitive. Costs will depend on the components you chose plus the cost of the course.

Dates and times have yet to be decided. Give the small class size, this will be decided together with the participants to best work with everyones schedules.
