Building Trick Wheels For My Two Stroke!!

[@CameronNiemela]

Let's play a drinking game. Take a drink every time I say "Rocky Mountain" or "nipple". How many drinks did you take?

[@curtissmithgolf]

A shit load 😂

[@motomalice5959]

Cameron Niemela I’m too drunk to tell😂

[@MattMcHugh257]

19 drinks! But I’m sure I missed some, I’ll have to make those up if I did 😉

[@LividAxis]

Congratz, first video on YT I've seen get over 6 hours with 0 dislikes!

[@__justin__]

Larger items (tires, fenders, skid plates...) are excluded from international shipping.

[@hunterellsworth7321]

SO stoked on how the bike is going to turn out. I would be scared to ride it knowing how clean it will be.

[@xperimental1855]

For future advice, little blocks of wood under the rim just to prop it up some off the table will help with the having to push the spoke toward the hub and pulling on it. Having the wood under the left/right side of rim will allow things to loosen up a bit

[@scroob72]

I'll be building all my own wheels from now on. Thank you for this!

[@Frickitall]

Thanks for the VIds Cameron!.. I have a salvaged 2001 Honda Shadow; two new tires (front one myself) , rejetted the carb, did the timing, replaced all the bad rubber and broken parts, new fork springs, Put a batwing on it... got some viking saddle bags. polished her up...Throw a hammock in the the saddle bags and ready to go. next up is an intake, exhaust and new wheels and whitewalls.! (edit: new radiator installed.)

[@DB-yb6jr]

Thanks, Cam! Super easy tips and instructions to build wheels.

[@kenbrake2828]

Where was this video 8 years ago when I was re-lacing my 2003 KX250 rear wheel after I blew a hub!? You explain it so well. Back then I could only find an article on it. No vids. Well done sir!

[@thatdesertmoto4923]

Can’t wait to see finish product!

[@frankalridge1797]

Satisfying video,I've done about a million bicycle wheels over the past 18years and would like to do motorcycle now,its in a very satisfying job

[@daviddeleon5551]

Man!!! They look really really awesome, best rims I've ever seen

[@don7406]

Nice job lacing and truing. Those wheels are too nice to get dirty. Hang them on the wall like art. RMATV is a solid company and I use them often.

[@tdhayes1]

Great Video. I've watched a dozen wheel lace/true videos in preparation for doing my first. Yours is one of the clearest and easy to follow. Thx, T

[@tdhayes1]

Ok! I tried it and my spokes are a little too long- (3-4mm). 19" excel rim, aftermarket hub. Tusk spokes and nipples. Already bottomed out spokes with tips poking out before I fully tightened them. The spokes are the same length as the originals. It must be the hub is not spec'd correctly. Any fixes for that???

[@alexdamron3170]

I watched this when it first came out and now that I have my own cr125 that’s apart now I’m going to lace mine up

[@amastrolia1789]

Would love to see a parts list so we know how much this build is costing you

[@nicholaswaskan8776]

Awesome video man I was just about to powder coat my rims and hubs and thankfully you made this video , learned so much !

[@jacek3743]

I like the clean simple looking video. Makes it really nice to watch visually and nothing crazy going on that detaches the viewer from what you are trying to show them. Nice Job!

[@spencergreen6076]

I love that place!!! Never lets me down and always has everything I need and more

[@robertlatham8361]

Great job Cameron well worth all your efforts, it does pay to have the right tools and environment for the job.. great videos bud !!

[@Paradoxal-Gaming]

LOVE Those wheels man killer job! Black and red go well together!

[@stiixbeatman]

Now that the awesome wheels are completed, I want to see what and how you mount the tire and tubes without damaging the bands.....!?!

[@my_name_is_chef4856]

You should've painted the spokes black. But they still look amazing! Excellent job Cameron!

[@ianvtonder]

The wheels look really awesome ! Great job !

[@scottbair5740]

I just found one of your videos recently and subscribed immediately. You are very precise in your work and explanations without wasting time giving useless info. You're doing a GREAT JOB! I do have one question . . . . . is it possible to number your videos so they can be watched in order without searching for the one you "think" is next? Thanks for Your Time

[@CameronNiemela]

Thanks Scott! Welcome to the channel. I'll keep that in mind.

[@nathanmescher6840]

You are my hero and I love the in-depth how to’s your so professional. Great job!!

[@Aspired329]

Still the best spoke lacing video published!

[@Will_Metzger__]

Why is this video so satisfying

[@christophervillarreal8565]

dirt bike porn

[@Will_Metzger__]

Christopher Villarreal 😂😂😂

[@cvick44]

ABV Bmx the beautiful nipples

[@ChiTuSai]

can't wait to see the finished CR man! you should powder coat the triple clamps in the same red

[@bstadele]

Great idea for a video will be some tips of how to wash motocross gear specially the boots , since you are so keen in clean stuff

[@lombardozarateiii6920]

I had this in mind the other day but had no clue on how to start thank you for the video.

[@quintinlarson9499]

Do you have to go back and re torque them after a couple rides like bicycle wheels? How about some locktite? Seems like a good idea

[@cultonmotocrossracing3408]

Thank you for making this video. This is a really good channel. Fantastic work.

[@deanofakesie8153]

What an absolute guru , looks like you love what you do 👌

[@ryanschmidt2872]

That bike is going to be awesome

[@mxrider2strokebraaap54]

Amazing looking wheels!🔥 Really nice video🤟

[@MegaCountach]

Great stuff Cameron! Thanks for the video. Cheers, Doug

[@joshuac2906]

This video is absolutely outstanding.

[@darcyfilms1512]

cr500 build next :) then you will have a cr125, cr250,cr500

[@motobrosfz-r199]

DARCYFILMS 15 team Honda🤙

[@gabewilliams5993]

DARCYFILMS 15 then a cr60, 80, 85

[@crffilmz7300]

Dude awesome idea

[@hicountrytm]

Aren't you worried about the powder coat underneath the spoke heads? I would think overtime the powder coating would break down in your spokes would be loosened.

[@alconte8624]

Great tutorial - very helpful especially with the truing

[@SamuelIrish]

Cameron your videos are sooo sick dude 8m learning so much

[@jltilghman]

This was an awesome video. Very educational for beginners.

[@FriendlyEllis]

You make really good videos mate. Very informative. Well presented. Top marks!!

[@-l8567]

You deserve way more subscribers 👍🏻

[@eschrader]

I watched a video a few years ago where the guy used a sharpie. Lighter fluid takes it off

[@EstebanViquez]

GREAT video bro I know one day I will adventure myself into this

[@garya3056]

Well done, Cameron.

[@dr187mx]

The turned out great! If anyone with a husky needs wheels I have Dubya set, D.I.D STX with Kite hubs $900. They came off of an 18 tc250 but they’ll fit other models.

[@snapfish89]

I love anti seize!!! Any one with a wheeled machine should use it, especially on there swing arm bolt lol

[@TheToycloser]

Thank you for showing your mistake and how to fix it. I always forget a step then spend twice as long correcting said mistake.

[@90SecondsofAviation]

You have some nice quality videos man t ! just found out this channel and subbed. By the way, do You have video tearing down yz85 engine ?

[@CameronNiemela]

Welcome to the channel! I do have a video on a KX85 engine, which is very similar. kzbin.info/www/bejne/f2ixiZ-QjtuAn80

[@offroaddomination5708]

Rocky mountain is the best

[@dantesworld16]

Loving the wheels cam! Anodised red is sweet 👌🏼

[@utdesertghost199]

You should pick up a cheap dial indicator at harbor freight and set it up instead of the pointer rod. You can get your wheels dialed in really close and it's easier to see exactly where they're off and how much.

[@mrbikeman]

Phillip Bell I worked in bike shops for 15yrs. It ain't gunna happen...

[@cartergonta]

What is the rim to hub distance for the rear wheel? Trying to work on my wheels from my cr250. Can’t find it in the manual.

[@carlosmadera6850]

Did you ever find out the measurement? I can't figure it out.

[@chazflitton]

Have you ever had any issues with the spokes not fitting through the hubs after powder coating? My spokes have to be threaded through the holes in the hub and they’re not even powdered yet.

[@davecushing5500]

That takes patients! nice video!

[@CamRSaws]

I like the wheel set looks great 🤤!!!!

[@zackmiller1165]

Nice job! Wish I was as mechanically inclined as you. You should open your own shop on top off Revive.

[@tomthomsen11]

Should you check offset before trueing to be sure you set the indicator bar? in theory, you could be offset to one side but the rim is straight. How do you check it for center?

[@s.thompson867]

Those turned out "Pryme"!!

[@think2cre81]

Cameron can you please send me link to you scotch brite wheels and the spoke wrench. I just bought a 2016 ktm sx125 and now I took it down to the frame . I'm redoing the wheels and powder coating the black frame to orange. Like those hubs .

[@carlosdias1940]

Great video again, and a fan of RM as well :-)

[@guswurm8958]

Loving the videos lately

[@tylerski8419]

Tryin to get sponsored by Rocky Mountain

[@gtgromer5232]

Hey Cameron, want to powdercoat my hubs, just wondering if I get a torque spoke wrench instead of just a spoke wrench, would the wheel be good if they were all torqued to the same spec?

[@jakepaul1662]

Is this the same process on the warp 9 supermoto wheels ? I want to un lace's them and powder coat everything

[@rudecycles7437]

Thanks but i have a question.... I have a Yamaha yz 125 2001 is the same for the rear wheel? I dont remeber what is the right configuration (small and long spokes)

[@jordanbrower9402]

Wow those look amazing

[@kizzillaman8295]

can a person paint or coat a stock will that would be decently durable?

[@AuMechanic]

I count the flats when turning nuts rather than rotations of the spoke nut. Easier counting 4 flats per turn then trying to remember 1/2, 1/4 or 3/4 turn You can go around and tap each spoke with the tool and it makes the same sound to indicate all spokes are same tension too.

[@blakeholland2771]

Does it matter if your put your rims number facing the other way? Will it affects the bike?

[@thenutdriver9685]

So dope bro. Glad your back

[@Wafflemaste]

The best kind of anodizing is the kind where you can wipe of the wear and tear 😂

[@bryce099]

What's your opinion about having 2.15 diameter rims on a 125 compared to the stock 1.85?

[@scotttalken8431]

Very nice job 👍🏻

[@RideWithTheWolf]

KKE has cast rims $399 for two. Probably not the greatest quality, but if you’re on a budget?

[@christophervillarreal8565]

Just picked up an 03 that thing is so monster is so scary lol!

[@twosmoked1805]

Gonna look so sickk bro

[@matt3122]

Thanks for making this awesome video.

[@ericnickel3280]

Is there a reason the front and rear wheels are laced differently?

[@handyman7297]

Have you lace bulldog spokes before ?????

[@josverhoeven5488]

Dammmm dude your wheels are killing it🤘

[@NoWay-vz9xw]

Rocket Mountain is awesome. Great sponsor.

[@fistpounders7375]

Sick looking rims and hubs man 😜😜

[@jatisurface]

Cameron, great video! Im about to build my first set, and this video gives me hope. Is there somewhere I can find my factory recommend rim to hub measurements?

[@Danman1972]

I'll pass on the drinking game! I like to sip my whiskey. Preferably after all the bike maintenance is done. How does the weight of the TUSK compare to the stock stuff? I think that is the biggest difference between say a dubya or excel set up. It costs more to make it tough a light, but reduced un-sprung weight is a good thing. I doubt that a casual rider/enduro hack racer would notice a whole lot. Budget wise I just can couldn't make a 1500 dollar set of wheels work out. About to buy a new to us bike for my wife that has a crack in the front rim. Will likely do like you and toss some TUSK or Moose hoops on there. Actually a local shop has a great price on some black ones hanging in the showroom.

[@bobbylight4262]

Chapmoto is my go too

[@wrenchone5003]

Getting that r.m.a.t.v plug in !! Going commercial bro jk good to see the benefits coming in ! Cheers!

[@endlessprogression9543]

Who needs school when we got Mr.Niemela as our professor ?

[@tomthomsen11]

how do you know if have a cross three pattern? Like on a CRF150F?

[@koenr100]

How long did balancing the wheel/ the whole proces take?

[@sendmemes5474]

YOU ARE A LEGEND !!!

[@G9Garage]

Hey nice video as always. Where did you get the hub offset measurement from?

[@CameronNiemela]

The service manual provided that spec.

[@ryanlester761]

I was searching for that exact question and answer. Thanks guys.

[@chrischilton7166]

Nice work thanks for the educational vid

[@kgahms2947]

Looking awesome 😎 🤘

[@matiassavolainen1227]

Awesome rims!

[@timboom1218]

Looks sick man 👌🏻🔝

[@presleycosta4127]

Hey quick question I recently got a 2017 tc 125 but have no idea what fuel ratio to use or what jetting if you could please help I will really appreciate it!!

[@SBACHLER]

Cameron. I may have missed it on the video, but did you coat the nipples or did you buy them red? Just wondering, because i am building a set of wheels for my ktm, with orange hubs, and would like to get nipples to match. Thanks,

[@milan5159]

Hè powdercoated it

[@YZFMANIAC08]

Awesome explanation
