Replacing a wheel -- am I ordering all the right parts?

[indysteel]

Are you building this wheel yourself? Building a wheel is not a simple matter of assembling the parts, and you need more than just the parts to do it. It's certainly not impossible to do on your own, as plenty of people do build their own wheels, but it's generally thought to be a more advanced project as far as wrenching goes. I don't say this to be discouraging; I just wanted to give a head's up that it's an involved project.

Here's a primer from Sheldon Brown on the subject.

Edited to add: I just reread the OP's question. I'm honestly not sure if she's buying a pre-built wheel. If so, just ignore my comments. Obviously, mounting a wheel with rim strips (or Veloplugs), a tube and tire is a pretty straightforward job, and you should be able to do that iwthout too much fuss. As for bike maitenance, I use Zinn and the Art of Road Bike Maintenance. There are also any number of handy videos on Youtube.
