This is the 3rd Edition of Jobst's classic work, a necessary reference for any aspiring wheel builder and a handsome addition to any cycling lover's library.
Jobst's pioneering research has much to do with the renaissance of wheel design now underway. Back in 1975, when his inquiry began, well-built wheels were all too rare and so was our understanding of the physics of this remarkable structure. Leading a motley crew of co-contributing fellow investigators, Jobst fleshed out the true nature of the tensioned wheel and recorded the details for all of us.
Isn't about time for a copy of your own?
Please note, we now have the German edition as well as English. Jobst is very proud of his German heritage and visited Switzerland, Germany, and Austria (among other cycling mecca's) nearly every year.
