Title: Good book, most recent edition still slightly dated.
Review: Great book on wheel theory, breaks down complex topics to be understandable by most savvy mechanics. One thing I don't like is that it's a bit dated, to 8 speed clusters/casettes, and while Brandt is somewhat infamous for taking a "if it aint broke don't fix it" approach, some of the advances in the last few years SHOULD be considered, especially in hub flange design (new Dura Ace/Ultegra straight pull hubs that still allow tangential spoking come to mind) Would also like to see some info about the R-Sys style "wagon wheels" and how that might factor into wheel building. Jobst also barely touches on modern materials like carbon fiber rims, different alloys like scandium, etc. GREAT book for 10 years ago, basically.
