Spokes Wheel Building School
Not only are we highly skilled and experienced at building any conceivable type of bicycle wheel for any application, we uniquely also teach a class on wheel building for students who want to make their own wheels under expert instruction and oversight.
The Park Tool School is an intermediate-level school for people who want to learn more about their bicycles. Classes are held on Sunday afternoons or Monday evenings and start about every eight weeks. The Sunday and Monday classes run in lock step, making it possible for people to occasionally switch classes if they have a conflict. Each course runs for six consecutive weeks for a total of about 15 hours of instruction. The course offers a well-organized curriculum with lots of time for demonstration, discussion, and opportunities for students to gain practical experience working on their own bikes. Visit the Park Tool School webpage at Spokes Etc for more class information.
