Roger Musson’s ebook is fantastic. I found his style of presentation and the information to be very useful. Of all the sources of information I’ve read on wheel building, including the others you mention, I found Roger’s book to be the most practical. I’ve built seven sets if wheels since purchasing his book in 2021.
