I started a wheel-building project a few years ago but it went tits up and has been sitting gathering dust for ages and lockdown seems a sensible time to start... I have a hub (Sturmey Archer S2C kick shift 36 spoke) and a range of different spoke lengths (have about 40 spokes in either 292mm and 296mm), and want to find a rim to marry the two together.
I've spent the past few hours on wheel building calculators, my brain is fried and I'm no closer to figuring it out... I have hub measurements (and spoke sizes), but when I try to calculate this with the type of rim I might want (something like Mavic Open Sport), the spoke required are too long with 4X or too short with 3X. Any suggestions? Any help greatly appreciated!

Just came back on to share this - brilliant post. Yes, I think it's way too soon too. Everything is so vague!

Thanks for the info! I’ve got a light bivvy set up, but my concern is that I get horribly cold after sweaty long runs, so would have to bring a fair amount of warm clothes to make it enjoyable.
On second thought, I might consider doing a similar route to the BG round, but stopping at youth hostels some nights.
No hot food or drink?! That’s determination! Did you enjoy esc GB? Looks like a mad race.

Lovely piece that's making me miss the mountains so much right now! https://www.ft.com/content/f21d1148-8309-11ea-b6e9-a94cffd1d9bf
Has anyone done any multi-day running trips where they've carried sleeping/cooking kit with them?
The creeping insanity brought on by lockdown is making me think up all kinds of post-corona challenges, and kinda fancy the idea of running the Bob Graham round over 3 days (though maybe 4 more likely?) at the end of the summer (if we're allowed out then), carrying everything with me. I would want to make it enjoyable – ie actually getting a full night's sleep each night /stopping for swims etc – but maybe it'd just be miserable?
I'm spending lockdown with my inlaws in Bristol, ad am enjoying finally having some hills to add into my daily run (unlike Hackney, where I usually live)!
Thanks. Looking for a tourer now!
