You make it look as easy as it's supposed to be. Twisted hub the wrong direction though. The spokes converge inside the valve stem hole, making it a little crowded to air it up. Twist the hub the opposite direction and the spokes will be practically parallel inside the valve stem hole.
Just built two wheels on my lunch break, first wheels I've built in nearly 20 years and the BEST tutorial out. Last time I used G-Sports guide, but this is so simple and so easy. Thanks dude
Dude great video. Never built a wheel despite being in a chair for 35 years and having them built. Decided to do this set myself and did both in under an hour! Thank you! I will say, I hope I wasn't the only one cussing like Happy Gilmore....."Get in your hole spoke! Don't you want to go home! This is your home spoke!" Then that sneeze hit and some poo came out and I had to regroup! Great video though thank you. Clear, easy and good camera work for a difficult project. Now......onto the tailwhip video so I can whip my chair! LOL
This video saved my butt twice,1st time on my own wheel and just tonight on a friend's wheel,every step is so well explained in this video it's basically impossible to mess the job up after watching it
I have to say you have the best how to lace a bike rim video PERIOD. And I haven't done this since 1988, and this will make you laugh, it was with a 48 spoke Araya chrome rim lacing a coaster brake when I was doing my BMX freestyle back then. I just realized how you have a lot of awesome freestyle stuff, I'm 51 and just have an E mountain bike that looks a lot like my 1988 Haro Master frame that started out as transportation to get around town, and then adding aftermarket parts like in the old days started tricking her out, new brakes, Shimano DX type pedals, and suddenly I'm doing old jumps and easy street riding. Until, jumping my favorite tree root growing under pavement in a parking lot, I guess I had a weird angle, I bailed, and my backrim landed first, killing the rim and motor combo, so I thought. Then buying two different rims online that just wouldn't work, an old fashioned straightening of the old rim by placing it on a flat surface and then bending on it a bit like the good old days, and watching your really easy and simple video that you made perfectly because a lot of these other videos are really getting confusing when it come to flipping the rim over, and lacing it the other way. And then I finally got the rim together and it worked pretty decent except it had a pretty good kink in it still, and using my old fashioned rim truing memory, it's just about perfect with a little wobble like I road ramp and hung up on the back wheel. Thanks for your incredible videos I'm gonna watch more of them. I got a lot of BMX bike builds and old fashioned 80s freestyle heroes of mine on my playlist like RL Osborne, Eddie Fiola, Martin Aparejo. It was cool to see those guys ride back in the 80s in person, like the AFA freestyle Masters competition in Tampa in 1988. ESPECIALLY when me and my buddy Frank that rode at the same bike shop in Lake Mary Florida got to meet team Haro with Ron Wilkerson, blow Brian Blyther, Dave Nourie and the guy Dave that was a little older than us that assembled bikes and ran the bike shop a bit would drive us there said some guy named Ron called the bike shop and wanted to know some hot riding spots in Orlando and we joked and said Ron Wilkerson and laughed. You should've seen the look on her faces when it was actually Ron Wilkerson and we saw him and rode with all of them. I wish I didn't sell my GT Pro Performer frame and my Hutch Pro Raider frame a couple years back. Awesome channel man!
I know it's 2am and I'm high but I think this is one of the best lacing vids on RU-vid and you explain it so well... I just destroyed my kink Orion wheel and I have another nice rim but it's not laced so yea ... thanks this vid helped so much
This is the only video that helped me lace a wheel I've watched multiple and they all seemed like rocket science this is the best you helped me lace my first wheel thanks brother. Gonna save me lots of $$
First of all, thanks for uploading this video. I am going to replace the hub and spokes of my rear wheel. This is the best video of lacing a wheel so far I have seen. The "over, over, under, SKIP" trick is easy to remember. And the small wheel is good for teaching this work (and cute too). This video is very helpful, I appreciated it.
Awesome vid, ive only laced one wheel before (terribly)probably 5 years ago. I watched this got my elite hub laced and trued straight as an arrow like ive done it a million times. Your a legend 🤘🏻
I looked at a bunch of utube videos and they where full of useless information and drag on forever. This video is simple to the point and super cool..thanks
6 years down the track and you’ve mostly likely got your own kids ready for riding 😂😂 I’ve now been roped in as head bike mechanic for my grandkids ranging from 8 to 18. All this after looking after our own kids and doing my own repairs during my formative years 😂😂. But the big difference between now and my time is that back then, to have a wheel ‘relaced’ was about $2 at the local bike shop. Now, before you say “holy crap that’s cheap”, we’ll, back then, $2 would buy you 10 full beers! So dad wasn’t amused, he like his beer 😂😂 With my own kids I did all the work, including trying and welding frames as well as everything else and the local bike shop looked after the wheels (except punctures), our local guy was a good friend, quite old and a former Olympian, he actually passed away in front of our place during the Olympic torch relay for the 2000 Olympics after doing his part, very sad. Nowadays I’m all tooled up, but lack the lacing experience. Thank you making this video, you did well, easy to follow, really enjoyed watching. All the best for your future. Cheers from downunder 👋👋👋
thanks for this video I hadn't laced a pair of wheels since 86' and had totally forgotten how, I watched your video twice and laced a n.o.s. pair of ACS Z rims for my 85 Hutch Trickstar showbike. Your video was very informative and made this task very easy.
Thank you David! Spent hours trying to lace one rim by looking at the other tire for HOURS, kept 'lacing wrong' over and over driving me nuts! Watched your video, and laced that F***er in under 15 min 1st try! You da man!
Just watched this while i worked on a new setup for the first time. Very clear and thorough and helpful to do the job right the first time. Thank you for making this, i found it to be exactly what i needed.
Dude we used to ride back in the day for a little while you were traveling Florida around 2016-2017 bro it’s awesome seeing you on RU-vid I just got back on my bike again
Mate i have to say thanks cause you made it easier than any of the other videos on youtube for me, and its my first time lacing a rim, so thanks heaps 🙏
Great video, Thanks for sharing your nolage, Completed first laceing rebuild today. It took me 5 goes be fore the penny dropped, Man from Ireland says thanks. 🍀
It's 2 years,and Priceless.I've had a rim setting,that didn't go right.I didn't know to Reverse on the second lacing.Thank you!(What I watched,the dude went so quick,I didn't see the reverse in lacing for the second side,and my spokes are about an 1" too long..LOL)
From all the videos I’ve watched today on this topic yours is the best , made it so simple and easy for me to follow and not get stressed. Thank you so much and love from upstate ny
Thanks dude. I am building a mini harley from scratch and I only know how to do a hub motor but not the regular front wheel. This video was a lot of help, never thought id be able to lace a wheel so well, as if it's straight up from a store or factory!
Thank you so much. All the other videos are way too drawn out and complicated this is super simple and to the point I was able to lace a wheel in like 30 min
So far this is the best tutorial i have seen. I wish you could made a video in how to do it by putting all spokes first on the hub before lacing it into the rim because it changes the process but still goes to the same outcome. In this video it became under,under,over while in other ways in goes over,over,under.
Sick music bro. Very old world, anonymous lounge on a corner, two very large fellas out front, definitely not softies, smokin a cigar, see thru socks wearing, pompadour sportin, 4 Cadillacs illegally parked on the street in front, type sounds. Very cool! Oh and about your video: one of the better ones I've seen. Definitely trying this and avoiding excess spending on lacing wheels. Thanks bro.
First wheel is correct. In the second wheel (the demo build), the valve hole is not correctly boxed. It should be between two near-parallel spokes, thus providing room for an inflator. The mistake happens on applying the twist, before the third set of spokes is inserted. Always twist in the direction that takes the spoke next to the valve hole AWAY from the valve hole, not across it.
I’ve just bought new rims and I get the tomorrow and I got told this video is really good and easy to follow so I’ll find out tomorrow.(not trying to spend money on someone else doing it)
Very nice instructional video. I plan to do this tonight with my 1995 vintage Hardrock Classic. A few nipples have broken due to corrosion in the past month or so, so it's time. EDIT1: Just snipped out the old spokes. Now I'm committed. EDIT2: Just laced it up with new black spokes. Pretty easy thanks to your video. Now I'm hoping you have a video on truing and tensioning. :-)
