Well, it's much easier if you have a Speedmaster to begin with. I had to trade my right fork leg and master cylinder to a Speedy owner on here who wanted spokes and didn't want to wait around for rare-as-rocking-horse-poop TBS wheel. I also bought his right caliper from him (and a spare 18" hoop and spokes he had). Found the TBS wheel on Evilbay. Single most expensive used item I've bought (and more expensive than most of the new). But considering a new TBS wheel from the factory was something like $800 and the brake kit was $620 new, I got off pretty light. I did have to buy new rotors and pads, not an inexpensive enterprise by itself. And if you go like I did and decide you don't want the 17" TBS rim, it will probably cost you at least $200-300 to have someone professionally relace the 18" America rim on the TBS hub. It only cost me $200 because "I know somebody."
Addendum: I also dismantled both fork legs for powder-coating when I swapped the right side. So that was all new seals and such. Not to mention a PITA. But you can't argue with the results. Well, somebody will, but I don't care.
