Works in 2024, thanks so much 🙏

ok.. but i was given different size spokes, and this isnt covered here. Flanges are the same diameter.

When weaving 2 over and 1 under I end up stretching the spoke to try and reach the next available hole. This process doesn’t work.. and can be seen happening to Chris earlier in the video

it is a good wheel lacing for rim braking. But for disc braking it is not recommended. On the disc brake side I thread the spokes that pull the rim, from the inside of the hub flange. The spokes that pull the rim on the side opposite the disc brake I thread them from the outside. I do this because of the disc brake fixed on the left side of the hub and when braking the wheel deforms less increasing the life of the spokes 🚴‍♂👌

Thank you for this video Chris! You explained it very clearly and i was able to follow along and lace a wheel without much difficulty. Great job!!!

Thanks you are FIRST to say you only need One side for Truing I Thought So again Thanks

(Beavis and Butthead laugh), HE SAID "TIT" .....:)))

Appreciate this video. Confirmed model 3 fit!

Good 👍

Great video. Could you gey 2 bikes in the model 3?

All you need is not what you promote it's just the cheapest spoke wrench and wheel in bike frame and a little intelligence and patience

Could you show it in use?

Love your videos!!!!

The video was succinct, informative and entertaining. Well done. Thanks for sharing your adventures. Question. It looks like this bike allows both manual and electric modes. Is that correct?

I will make one. Thank you. No, Two packs.

Look into Northstar batteries.. I've got 16 North Star Red 12v 200Ahs that are triple sealed and certified out the wazooo for everything including airplanes.

There is the UN3481 classification for surface transport which permits a non-hazmat shipping approach. But I don't think this means internationally and certainly oceans do represent an issue.

Usually, if the lithium-ion batteries are drained too much or left sitting around doing nothing the BMs inside the batteries run out of power it usually has a 5v battery that is drained but you can restore the batteries back to working condition by using a working/normally charging battery and just use the good battery to charge the dead battery back to life by adding a Wire piece to the positive ends of both batteries and the negative ends of the working and Dead battery and leave it as is for about 1 to 2 minutes then the Dead battery should start accepting a charge and start functioning again back to normal (You can use two pair of Scissors and do the same thing to revive the battery and get away with it ever when you have a different type /shape of battery pack). This battery pack dying and not accepting a charge from the charger is a well-known problem and this method works pretty much each and every single time. Would suggest you use the packing foam of your bickle battery pack to be cut in small sheets separately and then added around the battery pack assembly inside the Battery pack on all 6 sides to secure it for impacts while riding the bike or for safe travels.

Most of the big brand tools have a BMS built into the battery and I am fairly sure that DeWalt battery have this protection in as well (at least the ones in the UK do). I would still recomend charging them in the official battery charger but the battery should prevent you from over charging or under discharging them. While I am keen hobbiest with electronics and batteries please do read all of the comments by MikkoRantalainen he is correct with my understanding with both the battery voltages and soldering irons. I personally leave extra solder on my soldering iron at the end of each use to help protect the tips until my next use when I clean it off using brass wool after it has heated up.

34:45 Before connecting batteries on both sides, you should measure that the voltages are close to each other. Otherwise the side with batteries with higher voltage will try to charge the other side *very rapidly* because you're connecting sides in parallel with a thick wire when you connect the split wire.

29:20 DO NOT sand the soldering tip. The tip is supposed to have thin coating from the factory and if you apply sandpaper or file to the tip, you destroy the coating. You should use a brass sponge to clean you tip instead - just melt some fresh solder to the tip and clean it using a brass sponge immediately before use. If the tip of your soldering iron looks black - like in this video - the coating in the tip has already been destroyed beyond repair and it's the time to get a new tip for your soldering iron. If your soldering iron doesn't have thermostat controlled temperature, it'll burn off the coating from the tip pretty fast. And apply lots of solder flux. If you can use something like TS-100 or TS-80 soldering iron (should cost around $60-$80), the soldering iron has a lot more power to solder thick wires without burning the insulation away and doesn't destroy the coating in the tip because the temperature control actually works. Getting lots of tips for a cheap soldering iron because it destroys the coating is quite expensive route in long run. The smoke raising from the solder is the flux. When it stops smoking, you've already run out of flux so if the soldering iron tip is still in the solder, you used too little flux. And remove the flux after soldering using isopropyl alcohol unless you used speficially no-clean flux. Otherwise the solder will oxidize over time and you get a poor connection.

9:35 If you have your own 3D printer, you could create your custom battery receiver with a bar shape that takes 4 batteries: one in each end and one battery under each battery. Basically the arrangement that you're describing around 11:00 but with a single plastic bar directly taking all the 4 batteries.

Remedier to include inline fuses in case of a short in the bilen the cables and connectors Are not rated to carry the Max amp of four batteries delivering their fullest. 😉

Have you tried charging it with a generic 36v ebike charger ? Would save you the hassle of charging each pack individually. It may or may not work as it will depend on if the packs will except charging via the out put. Be interesting to find out ?

How to avoid the lithium-ion battery restrictions? Switch to sodium-ion. If manufacturers' safety claims are true, then those should be safe enough to have no restrictions besides carry-on luggage space and weight limits. 29:20 "Make sure your tip is clean, I sanded this with sandpaper before I heated it up." Most soldering iron tips are plated with something to help solder stick to it, which in turn helps with heat transfer and picking up excess solder from solder joints. Sanding tips ruins that.

could you show how it folds up and fits into a suite case?

I am worried about the cooling of the batteries inside the bag.

Couple of points for the benefit of others: 1] iron temp seemed a bit hot; 2] solder wicking down into the wire insulation is something that your actually trying to limit/ avoid as much as possible.

WOW Chris!! 8 years ago you taught me how to build bicycle wheels.. Today am prety good at that thanks to you.. Now here you are with antoher killer topic that, as a matter of fact, applies directly to my current lifestyle. Thanks Bro!!

Nice to see a new video.. Your series on wheel building was a life saver.

Excellent ! Much better to explain im detail than the parktool video.Better method too at starting on the right of the valve hole .Thank you

What spoke lengths did you use

Perfect instructions. Thanks so much!!

Доброго вечора. Дякую за дуже інформативне відео. Лайк та підписка! Слава Україні! Ми з України!

How long are the spoke lengths? Anybody who watches? 1:20 into the video, no length stated.

This is the best video on bike building and quite possibly the best video ever on KZbin in general

Really enjoyed the demystification of wheel building. Thanks so much!

laced up my first wheel today. Thanks for giving me the confidence that I can do it.

Thanks Chris I have built my own wheels thanks to your easy to follow video👍

why shouldn''t the spokes all be exactly the same tension and be true? imprefections in the spokes? or imperfections in the rim? Both? why?

I just built my first wheel. Thanks!

so if you call it 4 sets of spokes , why not do the 3rd and 4th set whilebin a true stand . and im sure im gonna be at this forever because im gonna mess up something lol .

Thanks so much❤

I hope you are doing well. That was so well done and included so many important details that make me feel very confident that I can build a very reliable, strong wheel! I've invested time watching some very seasoned Master wheel builders and I just want to say I think you're up there too thank you very much sir, may Jesus Christ bless you and your family.

nice video thanks...what obaut spokes lenghts? Are they equal?

love this video, you helped me a lot on my first wheel build, now i realised wheel building isn't that hard and stressful after all.

Love Chris' videos. Some wheel-builders prefer to install heads in/out in the reverse direction as shown in this lesson, but no hard test data exists that shows one way is significantly better than the other. Just wanted to mention for the viewers, so they know heads in/out philosophy may vary....depending on the wheel-builder.

This is the best instructional video I've watched. In the past I used a couple vids by "TheBikeTube". However, I find this one to be much better and if followed properly, your wheel build will likely work well your fist attempt. Thanks for the vid!

Thank you for showing me how to do this yet again! This has to be the best instructional video on KZbin!
