Just remember to cross it inside the last crossing spoke. You will have to be patient tensioning and re-truing it, but it isn't a tricky task.
Jim, thanks for the encouraging words. Agree with your analysis of the situation. Re Jobst's book, I found it, so if I need to swear on a stack of Bibles, I can swear on Jobst's book instead...
