Here are some more information for Chain Wrench Extra:
Firstly it is important that you have all the right gear before you begin the process so check you have the following:
Spoke Wrench
Plastic Mallet (rubber mallet)
Nipple tool
Small regular screwdriver
Grease
Truing tool
A truing tool is an extra cost, but it ill make life a lot easier in regards to seeing where you need to apply tension on the nipples. An alternative is to turn the bike upside down and use the forks as the tool and the brake pads as indicators to the wheels straightness.
The right components
Weight is an important part of road biking and the choice of parts and frame etc. With a wheel the starting part is the hub in the centre of the wheel. The general rule of thumb is to have a 32 spoke hub, but some heavier riders will need more than this. Conversely lighter riders may want less spokes to save weight, there are a number of spoke designs that keep rigidity but have less spoke, which means less weight and therefore less drag. The rim that you choose is critical as it is the main part of the wheel and its important to buy the right one for your weight and type of riding. Mavic as a brand are good in regards to making rims. DT stainless steel spokes and nipples are the best for beginners and in regards to length there are a number of tools of the web for calculating spoke length. Remember that front and rear wheels require slightly different length spokes as the hubs are different, taking into consideration the cassette.
Lacing the spokes
Place rim flat and insert spoke into hub flange, insert other end into rim and tighten nipple with 4 turns. (Remember to grease the nipples) Install in exactly same way on every other hole the next 7 spokes. Place them in every 5th rim hole. Twist the hub until all spoke are tight. Then place the next 8 spokes through the hub going from the inside out. Make sure you get the same twist on each spoke so everything is perfectly aligned. This should mean you have completed one side. Then turn it over and tap gently in the middle to bend the spokes outwards and find the new resting position. Do the same process as you did on the first side. Start opposite the first spoke you did last time, mark it so you know which one it is.
Tightening and Truing
Sit the wheel into the truing tool. It should be loose but in the effect final shape. The next stage takes a keen eye and patience. Only tighten in less that half rotations as that can make a big difference to the tension. Keep spinning the wheel and applying pressure on either side to get everything to sit in the right place as you tighten it all up.
4 Tips That Will Help
1. Lubricate the spoke nipples, when dry you can tighten them and they feel tight but actually they aren't and will come loose in time and make truing very difficult in the future.
2. Seating the spokes will eliminate any slack, so lie them as flat as you can. If this isn't completed you will find as you ride that the spokes will straighten and loosen, eventually leading to total collapse.
3. Slowly true round and centre the rim, do not do any section up to tightly. It's better to slowly go round and tighten with half a twist. Once you feel the rim is true and semi tight, begin the final tightening process.
4. Apply some pressure to both sides of the rim and in turn the spokes, this will help seat the nipples in the right place before the final tighten.

Bicycling Preparedness
Mountain biking can be a great deal of fun. Like every other sport though, there is an element of risk that comes along with it. Being prepared for any situation is the best defense. There are a few items that every bicyclist (really any outdoor enthusiast) should have. It's a good rule of thumb that the farther you travel from home, the more supplies you should have with you.
As a bicyclist you should have a first aid kit, a bicycle tool kit, a cell phone and food and water. These items will make sure that in the event of an emergency you will be safe and get home as soon as possible. A cell phone is incredibly important so that you can call for help in an emergency. You may find however that you are in an area without service. If that occurs, you will need to depend on your other supplies.
In case of an accident, a small first aid kit will help treat minor wounds such as cuts and scratches. You can carry a regular first aid kit or find bicyclist specific kits. Make sure that they include the following: band-aids, antiseptic, tweezers, pain reliever, tensor bandages and moleskin. If you have any known allergies such as bee stings, be sure to carry an epee pen. Likewise, if you are asthmatic, you should also carry your inhaler. Even if you don't plan to be away for a long period of time, the unexpected can always occur. If you take any sort of medication, make sure that you bring it with you on any mountain biking excursion.
You should also purchase a bike specific tool kit. Minor repairs may need to be done while on your route, having the appropriate tools will save time and headaches. In addition to tools, you may want to carry and extra bike chain. As any seasoned biker can tell you, it is very easy to bust a bike chain while you are riding. A spare can be easily switched out and you will be back on the road in no time. Finally, an air pump and other tools for fixing a flat tire are great tools to have on your journey. These kits include lightweight tools that will fit easily on your bike. Make sure it includes and Allan key or small wrench, a chain breaker, a tire gauge, a Swiss army knife, and some strong tape. If you are new to mountain biking, ask a seasoned biker what they have encountered on their trips. They will most likely have some great stories, and some wonderful suggestions as to what you should have on hand.
One last thought, though no less important, is water and a small snack. In case you are stranded, having water and something to keep your energy up is imperative. Try an energy bar or something else that includes protein and complex carbohydrates. Now that you know all of the necessities, you are ready to head out on the trail. Being prepared will ensure a fun, safe experience.
