Not non-stop, but does include flying though two nights on battery power. Neat animation.

http://www.thebikeman.co.uk finally had my spokes in. In spite of my leaving the rim and hub with them for over a week to be measured and the right spoke size calculated, the spokes are too big.
Not just "have to grind a bit off where it comes through the nipple" big, but "every nipple is fully done up with 5mm of spoke protruding and they still aren't really taut" big.
I am not a happy bunny. If they had said "you'll have to work out what size you want to order", I would have taken it away and fed numbers into assorted online spoke length calculators, but they didn't.
