You are seriously a great teacher. You take what you understand and you convey it to people who don't yet know in a way that makes sense and helps us understand the whys of the job not just the steps of the job. Great video. I learned a lot.

I learned more in 6 minutes from this video, than the hours of other wheel building videos I have consumed combined. Thanks for explaining the underlying concepts instead of just spouting arbitrary steps. As an engineer, if I can get a mental model of the underlying forces, the process falls much more easily into place.

I have bookmarked this video so I can revisit it to remind me how to build 2 cross correctly....however, I am being a bit dodgy and building 2x on DS (18 spokes) and radial on NDS (9 spokes) using a 36 hole RS400 Shimano hub (cheap, but plenty good enough for my LightBicycle carbon clinchers). Spoke layout like a factory built Fulcrum or Campag wheel but with J-bend spokes and instead of 21 spoke rear I use 27 due to me being a heavy sprinter!

Your instructional video helped me rebuild my rear Zipp 303 Firecrest wheel after the hub failed. After some trial and error (and with a bit of luck) I was able a build a true and stronger wheel while saving a bunch of $. Many thanks!!!

Thanks for convincing me to build my next set of rims!!! BUT, I’m in Italy 🇮🇹 and I fell in love with Campangolo...therefore I’ll have to go with a campy compatible rear hub. I understand the advantages behind Japanese precision and agree...BUT the way the shifters’ downshift’ with a SNICK...is akin to a gated shifter on a sports car. ‘Flappy’ paddles can’t match that feel of engagement.

Excellent video which properly explains the concept of pulling and relaxing spokes. Now that is grasped it's easy to understand how to lace up a wheel. Thank you!

Nice video, usually most tutorials only show you the lacing pattern but don't explain why. Lots of good information in here too. Will you do a review of the wheel once it is done?

That was the first time I ever heard an explanation of "why the spoke crosses under" the second or third spoke in 2 cross or 3 cross.

Just found your videos now. Thx for the great tutorial! Especially the opening - it's no magic. However, you didn't touch the point I'm struggling with: how to find the correct spoke length? I have detailed data of my (straight pull) hubs, I have the ERD of the rims. However, 9 different online calculators gave me vastly different spoke lengths. The calculators included those on the Sapim and DT Swiss websites and several independent wheel builders. I'm additionally confused that they all check different measurements of the hubs (like hole offset), while only one asks for the rim thickness. Is it just more complicated for straight pull hubs? I'm also curious to know why you decided for 2-cross instead of the traditional 3-cross lacing.

I tried the Sapim spoke calculator and it gave me wacky numbers. I ended up using the United Bicycle Institute and DY calculators. Front wheel spokes were a good length, going to do the rear today.

Is it reasonable to reuse sapim xrays spokes after replacing rims with same or very similar depth rims?

Can you talk more about the idea behind running the DS torqued spokes with the head facing out? Is it an issue if you run the DS torqued spokes heads running inwards?
@PeakTorque
5 жыл бұрын
You can do it either way. But the way i describe puts DS torqued spokes over the relaxing spokes, keeping them 'in' and away from the cassette. If you do it the other way, when these spokes relax under pedalling force, theoretically they can 'bow' out. In reality they probably won't, but it's good practice.

Hi sir. Just a question.. I have 32 hole rim and hub.. And 27.5mm spokes.. But my problem, it is coming out through the nipples and rim.. How can i solve this? I finished the front wheel but th rear wheel sucks!..

I don't think you're right about the leading spokes relaxing as you apply torque to the wheel. The only way this can happen is if the trailing spokes stretch and they will only begin to stretch once the force you are putting though them is equal to or higher than the force from the pre stress and this will not be the case as your ride. It's just the same as a prestressed bolt in a bolted joint. The bolt will not stretch until the force pulling on the joint exceeds the prestress in the bolt.

wouldn't you want the trailing spokes to have a gap rather than putting them next to each other? I am talking about on the rim. because as you pedal it would mean that two spokes next to each other would get tighter. seems like it wouldn's distribute force as well.

Sufyan Saleem No, id you did that your hub would wobble under the dynamic stress of pedaling, frame movement and the road surface.

No idea what you are talking about. 1. Which way do I "spin" the hub to put tension on the spokes 2. Where do the non tension spokes go? You didn't explain that
