Indeed very clearly shown and most easy to follow. Only problem is many hubs need two different sizes of spokes on the two sides. That point is not mentioned here and though it is common sense but some novices might be a little confused..

Good job in getting this wheel laced up. Well explained for anyone to follow. However there easier methods that intuitively will have all spokes properly positioned. Roger Musson does the best job and his book is one of the best instructional manuals out in the market. Something you can perhaps explore and provide an updated video with your excellent way of explanation.

[@DavidD6969]

[@BR3DDAM]

Thanks for sharing. It's a very good walkthrough! I've used a 'Tacx Exact' wheel truing stand for truing after the lacing of the wheel. It's somewhat cheap and you get a more accurate truing in all three directions. You're however right that you can just turn your bike upside down if you don't want to correct the last millimeters ;-)

[@ChuckD59]

I've built 50 or so wheels. Nice video, nice demonstration. The only thing I'd add is the need for grease on the threads and where the nipples seat inside the rim. I've always stuck the spoke threads into a tube of Phil Wood grease before threading on the nipple. I also prep the rim by using a Q-Tip to smear some grease on the area the nipple seats on in each hole (from outside the rim). Well done though still.

[@curbowman]

I live in Venezuela, and that brand of grease is not on sale here. Can I use other kind, like marine grease, or graphite? Thanks.

[@ChuckD59]

Sure, any will do. I mention the Phil Wood grease because it's supposed to be waterproof and I happen to have some around.

[@1stskyejaegers914]

Grease is fine while building, but not a good idea for the life of the wheel. I would use something specifically designed for the spoke nipples, there are many brand name products for lubricating and locking the nipples, but a time honored product is boiled linseed oil, available at most hardware stores, it is ideal because it lubricates while building the wheel, and dries with a mild "lock tight" property so that after building, pre-stressing, and using the wheel, you really do not want those nipples moving around much after you have built the wheel. Before I went to UBI to learn this, I had a set of wheel build by Sugar Wheel Works in Portland, and Jude built a wheel for my 26" NuVinci CVPT hub, that I used for over 7 years, and the wheel never failed or had more than 2 broken nipples in all that time, and the hub had finally failed (NuVinci no longer supports the N171b, so I have to build a new wheel today so I can get back to doing my Ebike delivery job in two days lol!) and I can tell you that wheel had somewhere close to 10,000 miles on it, I unintentionally hit curbs at over 25 MPH with a fully loaded bike for touring, and it never even got far enough out of true to need a re-truing! I just had to replace 2 spoke nipples once after 4 years , and one just recently at 7. The point is, you NEED the nipples and spokes able to move and flex, just not too much! And grease is just going to allow that nipple to move too much for proper tension to be maintained for the life of the wheel, unless you only use it on the rim, and have some other treatment on the spoke threads to keep it from moving too easily.

[@makantahi3731]

i use old wd40 that put in pot with nipples and shake it well and it will go well when screw it and wd40 will disapear after 1-2 days. when wheel is finished, i put 1 drop of rubber glue on top of nipple inside of rim to spread over nipple head and rim and it will never loosen but it can be screwed if needed-tested on more than 500 wheels and non loosen

[@jimr513666]

Thank You!

[@musamor75]

I've always wanted to know how a wheel is built. Now you've answered the question, and you have done it very beautifully. However, there still remains the question of tightening the spokes. I think this is also an extremely tricky stage. To make a wheel turn 100% true must be nigh on impossible. I bet you can do it though. Thanks for posting.

[@furulevi]

You can use the brake pads to make the rim straight. If the rim rubs on the... right side than slightly tighten the spoke which would pull the rim to the left side.

[@musamor75]

furulevi That's called truing. What I meant, as I very precisely stated below, is the TIGHTENING of all the spokes just after mounting the wheel. One turn too many, and you can throw your wheel right out of round. I don't know if you've done another video showing this. Anyway I enjoyed your post. I'll keep moving. Ciao.

[@debianowns4393]

Just so you know, this is also called truing, Furu mentioned Lateral truing, you were talking about Radial Truing. To properly true a wheel you should be monitoring and adjusting both.

[@chriscrux4556]

[@ShivamSharma-ky3os]

What are the size of spokes you have used? And how to find the correct size ?

[@MCrue73]

When I read sheldon browns wheel building tutorial he says, "The first two crosses, this spoke will pass outside of the trailing spokes, but for the outermost cross it should be "laced" so that it goes on the inside of the last trailing spoke. You will have to bend this leading spoke to get it around the last trailing spoke on the correct side." So it's over. over and under? But in this video you go , under, under and over

[@furulevi]

6:58 under, under, over (drive side) 14:01 over, over, under (non drive side)

[@shishirsumangupta1772]

It iz as nice as anyone thoughts.

[@Hertog_von_Berkshire]

This lacing order clearly works but is not the simplest. 1. Only the first set of 8 is simple. 2. It's really hard to find the correct hole for the first spoke on the second side. I think it's fair to say that most wheel-builders choose to lace i) drive-side innies, ii) non-drive-side innies, iii) drive-side outies, iv) non-drive-dide outies. That way, the first two sets of 8 are simple as is finding the correct hole for the first spoke of the second set. Also, IMHO, there is less chance of scratching the rim with a spoke end.

[@johnkirk1444]

Good overview of the lacing pattern, but you didn't make any effort to honour two wheel building conventions. First is that you determine the location of the first spoke so that when the wheel is built any printing or decal on the hub is visible when viewed through the valve hole. Second, that any printing or decals on the rim can be read when viewed from the right hand side of the bicycle. Neither is essential, but both are recognised hallmarks of a professionally handbuilt wheel.Spoke threads and nipples should also be lightly lubricated with oil, to aid tensioning and truing.Thank you for posting this video.

[@admeenhacker6015]

good video. i wish your next vid is how to truing :)

[@furulevi]

admeen hacker That's pretty easy, use either a screwdriver (when the tire is not on the rim) or a spoke wrench to turn the spoke nipples. Tighten a nipple to pull closer the rim onto a desired side or release (unscrew) a nipple to let it go to the other side. You can use the brake pads to see where the rim is rubbing them. (truing in a nut shell)

[@jamespruett27]

[@garywee3100]

Hi Just a quick question, are the non drive side spokes longer than the drive side spokes?

[@user-rh6pb8rt8s]

yes on most rear ..

[@BlackSummit92]

nice informative video, would the process be the same for a front 32 spoke wheel ? thanks.

[@furulevi]

yes it's the same

[@alexandero.4496]

Amer Milanovic It is the same but front wheel is a lot easier since you do not have to worry about hub being off-center, or having different tensions on drive side vs. non drive side..etc. On front wheel both sides are identical. If you have access to a spoke tension meter it can be great tool to use when building wheels; ensuring same tension on every spoke will prolong lifetime of your wheel.

[@beleattaramine1071]

[@cutecat864]

I ended up making both sides in the same direction, is it bad?

See if the spokes are deforming in the direction of pedaling or braking.

please help ! my spokes are very long and my hub is 32 holes but the rim is 36 holes ? i cant fix it

You could use 4 spokes less, but if they are too long than you have to get at least shorter spokes...

[@theatom7264]

Nice tutorial video. Quick question; I have a Shimano Deore XT model FH-M756A rear hub & I plan on using it to build a 29 rear wheel with it. Anyone know what size spokes I would need? I plan on ordering the spokes online & doing the work myself to save some money.

[@damntuff62]

Hi Joe, if you have another 29er measure those spokes make sure their identical

[@rocbola]

I see your comment is 6 months old, so not sure if my reply is too late, but if you are still needing to build that, i will be building a 700c wheel with the same Shimano Deore hub, 36h. I plan on filming and uploading the build. Just a quick answer to your question of what size spoke to use, find an online spoke calculator and type in the specs of your hub and your rim.

[@HubertMietkiewicz]

Hey! Nice video! Do you use the same spoke length for both sides? I'm trying to learn how to properly build a wheel and some people say that, on the drive side you need 2-3mm spokes longer. Thanks!

[@furulevi]

I used the same length on both sides, but the spokes which are on the drive side where the Freewheel/Cassette is need to be screwed in deeper into the nipples to center the rim for the brakes!

[@alexandero.4496]

***** Actually, since drive side lays flatter it would require shorter spokes (by 2-3 mm) instead of longer spokes. Using same length spokes is fine as long as spokes do not stick out outside of the rim, and have enough threads to fixate properly; which most high end wheels will have. Also you should consider the weight savings off each spoke:P. P.S. Great video; Will make sure to share!

[@V8_screw_electric_cars]

I got new rim laced at the shop for me, but it was off center so I loosened up spokes on the left and tightened spokes on the right, we'll see how it works...

[@eastbay40386]

The direction of the trailing/ leading spokes are in wrong direction.

[@rami052]

hi i didn't understand the first spoke on the other side of the hub how you choose the corect hub holl and how do you choose if enter it from inside or from outside

[@furulevi]

The 1st spoke in the 2nd flange (shown from 10:43) is positioned on the other side (180°) of the 1st spoke of the 1st side. One set of spokes (on one flange) is introduced from the interior and the other set of spokes (on the same flange) is introduced from the exterior. (shown from 13:29).

Will this work if i have 36 spokes?

[@redrocker1055]

Do rear trike wheels that are attached to an axle rather than a cassette have to be offset as well? Thanks

[@furulevi]

+wahwah1013 If there is no cassette than there is no need to offset the hub. It can remain in the center (all spokes tightened equally).
