I never knew that primer used zinc as its anti rust component and how that all worked electrochemically.

He added a significant amount to Sheldon's wheel building page, which was a helpful reference for my first wheel build.

It needs to be done because it would be a major failure if the vintage bicycle community let that site die. It's a great resource. Sheldon's site is where I got started learning about working on old 3-speeds back in '03 or so. Before that I only had knowledge of basic, old American single speeds. I would have been pretty lost without it. Most of the work I do now to maintain my bikes (and plenty of stuff that ends up in the Bike Shed Blog) would not be possible without Sheldon's site and guidance as a foundation. I still turn back to it for quick references sometimes. I'd love to see the information on the site crafted into some sort of electronic (or even paper) book guide someday. The proceeds could go to maintaining the website and towards expanding the knowledge. I'd love it if the site transformed from Sheldon's personal sort of bicycle website to an on-going and expansive bicycle guide with Sheldon as the founder and with many, quality contributors. The site could be passed on over time to younger mechanics who would keep the torch lit, turning it into a perpetual guide with Sheldon as founder.
