Wheel building questions

Hi all,

Thank you for all the information. I have one more stupid question
What is the right side of the wheel? I am assuming this would be th
drive side. (i.e. I am siting on my bike and looking down. i.e. I a
not looking at the bike face on; in that both the bike, wheel, and m
are facing the same direction.)

Sure, what else could it be? It's the side with the right pedal (which
is marked with a little "R".

Call it "starboard" if you're nautical.

It's not the side where your right arm is when sitting on the handlebars
pedaling backwards, nor the side where the center stripe of the road
is (in the USA) nor where you extend your left arm to make a left turn.

I call it the leeside when I'm heading uptown, and the windward side
when I return.
