Introduction

Hi there. My name is Wyatt, and I am novice enthusiast in the pastime of bicycle wheel fabrication. I intend to document my wheel building trials, mostly for the sake of posterity and poor memory, but perhaps you will find some value in surveying my efforts.

I am calling this project "Rigid Rotor Wheels" as an unsubtle homage to my first love--physical chemistry. Perhaps with enough experience and audacity this will develop into a brand name of sorts, but for now it's just a blog title.

At the time of writing, I have no particular layout or schedule in mind. I hope to provide helpful advice and thorough documentation of my builds with a few pleasing visuals along the way.

You can read about my exploits as a physical chemist here, if you wish.
