It is extremely helpful to beginners or experienced mechanics. After using this as a reference for about 100 wheel builds it becomes a part of routine and I've tried other methods more recently in my own builds and it only confused me. Schraner is the way.

I highly recommend this book to everyone. I’ve bought this book about 7 or 8 years ago when I first started cutting and threading spokes to build wheels. I highly recommend this book to everyone.

I love Brandt's explanation of the forces involved in a bicycle wheel. “The Bicycle Wheel” by Jobst Brandt is also another delicious book.
