Absolutely build your own wheels. I was sceptical a few years ago but was encouraged by a workmate to do it. Now have several sets with 1000s of kilometres on them. I highly recommend Roger Musson’s ebook on wheel building. Includes guides on making your own tools and excellent building instructions. A piece of cardboard from a frame box and wooden skewer make a fine dish tool!
