As an amateur wheel builder I have laced up at least 40 sets of wheels over the
years, and when people ask me where I learned how to build wheels, I'd tell
them Sheldon Brown taught me. You KNEW Sheldon Brown?, they would ask,
with an impressed look on their face.
No, I never met him was
Riv Mountain ?? Wow, what was that ??

FWIW I've set up my S1 with a 20/22 rear, 42/44 front... Thinking back trying
