This unit describes the performance outcomes required to design and build bicycle wheels with different hub, spoke and rim configurations. It involves preparing for the work, selecting and using specialist tools and equipment to design and carry out the building and testing of bicycle wheels, and completing workplace processes and documentation.
It applies to those working in the bicycle retail, service and repair industry.
No licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.

Assessors must satisfy NVR/AQTF assessor requirements.
Competency is to be assessed in the workplace or a simulated environment that accurately reflects performance in a real workplace setting.
Assessment must include direct observation of tasks.
Where assessment of competency includes third-party evidence, individuals must provide evidence that links them to the bicycle wheels they have designed and built, e.g. build orders.
Assessors must verify performance evidence through questioning on skills and knowledge to ensure correct interpretation and application.
The following resources must be made available:

workplace instructions detailing job requirements
manufacturer and technical bicycle wheel specifications
PPE required to design and build bicycle wheels
wheel components specified in the range of conditions
three different bicycle wheels as specified in the performance evidence requiring a complete build
