> I would highly recommend anyone into bicycles to try building their own wheel using his article. Hear, hear. It's an incredible resource. I got into building and fixing bikes around 2004, and built a couple of fixed-gear bikes on a shoestring budget using parts from Nashbar.com, and Sheldon Brown's wheelbuilding guide. I also corresponded with Sheldon a few times via email, and created the Wikipedia article about him. He contributed to it a few times himself, before his untimely death in 2008. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sheldon_Brown_(bicycle_mechanic) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sheldon_Brown_(bicycle_mechani...
