Seriously…Didn’t realize it can take so little time. Seemed to me that getting the wheels right alone would take that long.
When doing it regularly, building a wheel takes that long, truing a wheel that was spot on till UPS got ahold of it is just minutes worth of work.
My last build took 4 hours, but that required lacing two wheels, and having to deal with 1.8/1.5/1.8 spokes and their desire to twist, mounting some difficult tires, installing hydraulic brakes, wrapping the bar and cutting down the fork. Though it takes longer to walk to the bandsaw and back then it actually takes to cut the fork.
