Kurt Wolmeyer I have built your 3 leading 3 trailing wheel All I can say is I love it. I get allot of compliments on the way it looks, and its held up to the full weight of a touring bike with flying colors.
Kurt Wolmeyer .I'm getting into wheelbuilding and have several requests for the 3&3 and the Crowsfoot patterns. I think the idea of having a custom wheel is catching on here. I hope you won't mind if I keep building wheels from your web-page. I've also told some of the other wheelsmiths in the area about your page, some liked it and others were like "Is he crazy?" Most people that know me would say "Yes"!
Kurt Wolmeyer I just thought I'd let you know that the 3&3 is still holding up quite well.I just have to go back and tighten the spokes now and then due to riding with so much weight on it.

I've also built a set of 40 spoke crows feet for a buddy who does freestyle BMX and he loves them. He tells me they take one heck of a beating and still ask for more. In fact he's had them for 2 months now and still hasn't brought them back to be trued out.

Re BMX wheels - This is very encouraging. However I think it's only fair to point out that this also requires the wheels to be built very well in the first place.

Bill Thank you for your website and the different pretty wheel designs. I built my first wheel last week and immediately realised that there must be lots of different ways of setting out the spokes. Then I found your site and lo! there were lots of patterns. I have just finished a 3 leading 3 trailing on a Shimano Nexus hub generator (front wheel ) 700c Mavic MA 2 rim and it's very pretty and probably unique. I am especially grateful for the lacing pattern which I would not have been able to determine without your help.
