Thanks for the tip on the electric screwdriver! That saved time and it’s something I wouldn’t have thought of. I built up my wheel and it wasn’t too bad. I think the larger size makes it easier and also because it’s a symmetrical build. The tension is a bit higher than before but it’s a lot more true. I didn’t have time to try it out but as I expected mounting is going to be a challenge.
