This is from trustpilot. Not worth it to save $50 IMO

I'm looking at getting Carbon bars, will going from 780 to 760mm be noticeable? I am looking to keep the same specs.

Yes and no...
I have 780 on my Hightower and 750 or 760 on the Talon
Jumping from one to the other, yes. After about 10 minutes, not really.
I clip trees the same

I've done my wheels for both my vintage bikes, which makes for a whopping total of 4! They're holding up well and are still true, not that I used them that much...

I use this page as a reference https://www.sheldonbrown.com/wheelbuild.html , it's been debated before on MTBNJ.COM on this thread started by @qclabrat http://www.mtbnj.com/forum/threads/diy-wheel-building.43519/ that went nowhere, not sure if he eventually built a wheel or not...

I don't think I can teach a class, but I can tell you that once you get to it it's not that complicated if you take your time. If I had to make money out of it...forget it!

It's paramount to get your spokes cut correctly, I get mine from a guy on ebay (yojimbos_garage) that cuts them to measure. My next evolution will be to buy a Hozan C-702 spoke threader and cut my own spokes.

The best spoke length calculator I've found so far is this https://spokes-calculator.dtswiss.com/en/calculator especially since I tend to use DT Swiss spokes and nipples.

It probably cost me more to build them than buy them already built, the rationale for me is that when I did the first one I needed something to keep me busy and my mind away from very dark thoughts, it worked so I stick to it.
