Wow, what a pain in the arse. Thanks for the explanation, will definitely stick to rims with holes 🙂

handling the tire with a pair of Mechanic Wear gloves is also helpful; has plenty of grip and saves the top skin layer from blistering

Anyone know of a tool to just place the rim and hub centered and then measure the length using a string pot for perfect measurement in 5 minutes or less rather than measuring and calculating making for errors in both calculation and measurement.

Absolute must watch video. Required viewing.

Curious, will the enduro extractors work with this hub instead of a blind bearing puller?

what tool is that to feed the nipples through the deep section rim? can you provide a link?

Finally, someone with the key to seating the tire and sealant - no soapy water, no strap around the tire, no using rim tape, etc - all were a waste of time. The trick was to remove the presta value core, use a compressor and BAM - 2 seconds and seated!!! I watch numerous how to videos and no one said about removing the core - if you have a compressor, remove core, pump up and BAM - remove finger and install core. Thanks Matt - awesome and simple (and extremely helpful)!!

All I care about is reliability.

This really works. After destroying two tubes doing this the old way, with tire irons, I followed this video and viola, my new gatorskin slid on and the tube survived.

I have the small decals. Do they aoply differently? Are they peel off type?

im having a hard tire putting new gatorskins

@2:02 you should have shown how to remove the internal bearing. If it is flush with the internal hub, then the bearing drift you used will not work. For me, if I replace bearings, I replace them all regardless as I am already in there.

So pumped about NEW WHEELS yeah buddy

Onyx! I come from a time and country (1980's East Germany) where NOT ANY hub made any sound and a wheel was spinning for 5 minutes. I'm absolutely not understanding why loud and more friction is in any way "better" on a bicycle. I simply don't get it! 😵‍💫

I can confirm the 6 pawl free hub will fit on the road hub. I’m running it right now, with my durace 11 speed cassette.

Thank you

I been building bikes since i was a kid and ill be explaining this way shorter in a vid in a couple days. This is the correct way in detail but i understand people just wanna get the job done now.

My front wheel should have a left spoke length of 284.5mm, I ordered 284 should I have gotten 285?. Spokes on the right should be 285.5, do I get 284 or 286? My rears left should be 284.5 I ordered 284mm Should I have gone 285? And the right should be 282.9 do I get 282 or 283? Thanks

Worked like a charm. No other video tutorial for installing tubes takes into account gator skin tires! 😅 YOU’RE A HERO!

Love how strong my light bicycles 27.5 33mm wheelset. Its been 2 years and i still dont need to firm up the spokes.

Hooked bead is a great choice.

Worked for me thank you! Got stuck on that final part, but deflating the partially inflated tyres really helped me get that last piece!

wow... people in the comments should not build their own wheel

I love this company. Awesome product. Finally a chinese company concerned with a quality product and customer satisfaction.

Thumbs down. Anyone can show how to seat a tubeless tire that's already been seated and then reair up once you start out with something new like a lot of new people struggle with and getting the bead even to set with air compressor there's a thousand videos like this one nothing special Make it difficult for people who struggle.

Question - How do you determine the key spoke on a straight pull hub?

Why would you pump air in and then just let it out?

pretty frustrating diagrams that don't show an offset rim when you mean too

Any spoke size will fit a 20mm rim

I have seen several vídeos about lacing a wheel, but this one is by far they Best. Thanks

Awesome and clean information. Thanks!!!!

Glad to know it wasn't just me having a tough time trying to mount GatorSkins. As well as good tips, my key takeaway is the need for patience.

ONYX!!! 😃

Nipples should come with the spokes,not seperately

Hey there, I‘m having quite the same issue doing this for the first time. Can you - or somebody else - tell me where to get those 2mm threaded bolts without a driver (in it’s head)? I searched the whole internet for it, but without having luck so far. And I don’t want to use bolts with a driver as the magnetic force is lower then. 🧲 I hope someone can help me.

Do you offer decals for the 240 hubs to clean of the red?

can't stand noisy hubs...it becomes really annoying after a couple of rides.

Which SAPIM nipple do you recommend for CX-Ray spokes (mtb)? 14mm or 16mm?

Building a rear wheel...shimano 756XT hub & raceface ARC25 rim. Which nipple should I use 14mm or 16mm?...confused. Wanting to use CX ray spokes.

Super helpful thank you

I am looking at the Falcon UFO disc wheel. The brake track is 28mm and internal is 21mm. I know on LB website that the minimum size tire is a 25c but is that proper? I feel like the 25c tire will inflate more flat on top and have more rolling resistance. Is the UFO really (supposed) to be fitted with a 28c?

Star man! Was struggling for ages and then this solved the issue in seconds.

Thanks for the video!

Had some LB wheels with Hydra hubs on my last MTB = flawless. I did finally crack one off of a high speed drop they sent me a new hoop in a few days 👌🏼

If you got it on that easily, though, how is it tight?

such a precious advice ! No tools needed, suddenly became easy Oo

Amazing! Gatorskin tire on Roval Alpinist rim. Same as the other commenters here. Had snake bit tubes, busted levers, and stressed carpel tunnels - ouch! Watched this video and 20 seconds later, poof, tire is seated and I'm ready to roll. Cheers!

1:14 "bottom barrel underneath the thread" - what does it mean?

Thanks, I just bought an air compressor and didn't know how to use it properly. So valve remove and just lever w/ rubber tip @ max psi then ;)

I think I need to offset my rim to the hub!!! The rim and tire is not centered to the back frame... Don't know how much shorter the spokes needs to be the gear side.... I made new wheel with a wider rim, and now my tire is obviously wider...and rubbing on the brake side...
