How To lace a wheel 36 Hole (3 Cross) BMX

I recently purchased a new hub rim and spoke set to build a wheel and figured it would be the perfect time to make a how to vide. So in this video I'm going to show you the proper way to lace any 36 hole wheel using the most popular 3 cross pattern. I will be lacing a vocal hitchhiker hub to a alienation felon tics 20" rim using titanium American made spokes and brass nipples.
I hope you enjoyed this video!

Many thanks for this. 47 years old, been riding BMX since I was 6 and I just laced my first wheel !

[@mikepoppjr]

Me too im 51 lol

[@tresdelengua]

Best lacing vid on KZbin

[@sonnyyo]

Benjamin Arreola thank you!!

[@loganfralick8314]

Yes I tried at first by looking at another wheel 2 months later still not done then I figured KZbin would teach me

[@559bass5]

Agreed

[@benparkes5939]

This is the best video on KZbin for lacing 3 cross. Thank you 👍. Barry Nobles one is good too. The other videos miss explaining vital information.

[@maffil356]

bought a spare bike for cheap recently and stumbled on a wheel I tried to lace about 8 years ago, I thought id found a hidden gem in my stash but nope memories came flooding back and sure enough it wasn't rideable....Watched 3 tutorials and this one right here is the best. Thank you so much mate!

[@tinongnjong1305]

3 years and it’s still helping people, including me 😃

[@juwanwright5091]

Everytime i need to lace a wheel I come to this vid my favorite video I would recommend this to anyone

[@LimaTangoZulu]

Wheel building is deceivingly easy. More people should build their own wheels!

[@zuhayerzarifx0364]

Helpful. I was confused in which side to rotate.

[@oakleymsw]

Very helpful. You have hit the sweet spot with your considered and simple to follow coaching style. Well done you.

[@Ben-lu7jy]

I reference this video often so I can recall how to build a simple wheel. I have used it for both 2 cross and 3 cross patterns without a hitch. Thank you!

[@Sigid312]

Best lace tutorial ever, very clear and I've made it

[@andries514]

Best video so far. Thank you👍. After a few try's i was able to lace my 'practice' wheel. Now for the real deal.

[@jeffyoung3528]

Great video for beginners like me ,with the help of your video ,I just laced my first rim for my motorized bicycle, best video I found, thanks

[@sonnyyo]

That's awesome! Glad I could help!

Brilliant! You just saved my day with this precise, simple to follow video. Thanks a lot!

[@mtbjuky]

Nice job, best video out there to lace a wheel. All the other videos on this they just rush through on all the key spokes on where they go. Cheers!

[@emilsrudzutaks2006]

Thx man just built up my first wheel set with this video :)

[@Tech_481]

This is so simple thank you

[@pharrohku5922]

Thank you for the detail on lacing a wheel even though mine are Fatbike 4.0 wheels this process works the same

[@nw8488]

top notch lessons. thanks!

[@Pushyhog]

best of all ive watched. thanks

[@DarkbarkVids]

Cheers I'll give this a try practicing for my upcoming bike mech so i need to learn how to do this been watching loads of videos but this is the best one I've found so far

[@sonnyyo]

Hell yeah!!

[@UCm0i6w5lBlRthCtZEoj99tg]

Thanks, building up a wheel for my wife's city bike right now. You couldn't have explained it any easier!

Thank you Your video worked perfect for my wheel build thanks bro awesome job

[@bobbyd3668]

Thank man I just laced my wheel up tonight case of you I tried a couple of other videos and they were trash, got it done in about 30 min

[@dakotajohnson957]

dope man! thank you!

[@stephenthewelder]

Took me a few trys but got it. Great tutorial.

[@sonnyyo]

Awesome! Thank you.

[@zidnyknight3611]

Many thanks for this

[@premium780]

Thanks you helped a lot ❤️

[@paulwolfram7774]

Great explanation, thank you! There's just one thing I always struggle with, which is when you start lacing the second side, the hole "on the right" to it, is not one hole over but it's the same hole on the other side, but it's just a little offset to the right. I don't know if that makes sense to anyone else but me, probably not. Sorry, don't know how to explain it any better.

[@octanefresno]

Awesome tutorial just leased my first set for my Cook Bros Racing three bar cruiser

[@bigchris80]

awesome, just done my 36 halo, very good video! cheers dude!🤘

Thanks!

[@eleanorramirez2802]

I have the Alienation Plain black rim, i relaced it up with an Ezra hub thx for the help

[@DrSnipe83]

Not going to lie I'm probably not going to do this anytime soon but this was a nice watch. I believe you have good low noise level for one of those silent fix videos.

[@danielbaxter1080]

Great Vid 👍. Did you do a follow up vid on truing the wheel?

[@marklee7769]

when you start doing the 3 cross you do over over under then you have to skip a hole and put it in the hole after you went under that 3rd spoke

[@saulalvarez2542]

man was this videos was good

[@kaloqnhristov770]

great

[@Rickydbaby]

i'm building a 36H 3 cross mountain bike wheel for the first time. this same lacing pattern and technique should work for my wheel as well yea?

[@exoticknots1539]

This is the best video for lacing it but I messed up

[@brashearwow]

awesome vid thanks!

[@BabyGoh9955]

Hi Jacob, nice video. I recently want to learn how to check the tension of the spoke on my wheel. Got a park tool Tm-1. Seems like it don really fit a 20" wheel. Are they are not the same tools?

[@dinozr2784]

hey when i tried trueing it some spokes would not stay in their place and i already did it wrong the first time and it was weird i can’t keep going past trueing because it keeps moving any tips?

[@MrUhhuh1]

Fresh azz video...easy to do from ya

[@Ricky-fz4xy]

Would the 184mm spokes fit the front wheel, yes my rims are 20inch, or would the 186mm fit the front tire

[@moxynails]

Bro, how can I do it with 28H? Any advice?

[@Juos10kustu]

i cant put the spokes at 4th. i have to put them so that there is only one emtpy hole

[@lemix69]

Good video on lacing, but what happened to the truing video? 🖖😎

[@brandonmccombe3794]

Sweet video and very informative , is there a link for truing the rim ?

[@sonnyyo]

Not yet, working on it!!

[@GamingNinja1998]

Can you do a strength test ti vs steel spokes , I’ve been wantin nog to get ti spokes but I’m a bit nervous on spending £60 per wheel

[@ericisabadbadman3978]

I had a wheel laced with ti spokes, the spokes came loose quicker than steal spokes. Strength wise I broke a bunch but that was due to doing grinder's

[@Blackevilmisanthrope]

Ti is much stronger than steel for any situation where flex can occur. Spokes being one of those. Any breakage or nipples coming loose is likely an error in wheel building or possibly cheaply made spokes.

[@earthenergyhex]

great video, where is the trueing video

[@twenty2082]

You'd also have to dish, tension & then true it.

[@warfighter-rango8180]

I have a 50mm rim help

[@lowchills7532]

Young Ace notorious big - grab my gun

[@elpretender1357]

Tried to do this method on a 20" rim with a hub and spokes of similar dimentions to the ones on the video. Somehow I ended up having some nipples too tight and others protruding from the rim. Any idea as to why could that be?

[@sonnyyo]

You’ll have to use different size spokes. Albes has a spoke calculator online that works well. If not Sapim has an online spike calculator that uses measurements of your parts to find the correct size!

[@elpretender1357]

@@sonnyyo Update some hours later: I did used three different calculators which all gave me the same result, so I made sure to use those. Turns out I wasnt paying attention to the valve hole and the distance from the spokes to the hub. It's looking great now

[@sonnyyo]

@@elpretender1357 awesome good to hear!

[@Santicstoner666]

I don't see your truing video anywhere

[@sonnyyo]

I will make an updated one soon! The one had copywriter music so It was removed.

[@JeremyDWilliamsOfficial]

And then the end... take to your bike shop to finish 🤦‍♀️

[@morganrkbmx9776]

what is the sizes of the spokes plus is the wheel 20 inches

[@sonnyyo]

morgan rk bmx depends on the hub and rim, usually they’re between 180-186 but use an online spoke calculator

[@morganrkbmx9776]

@@sonnyyo thanks where do u find one

[@sonnyyo]

morgan rk bmx Albes has one if you just type “Albe’s spoke calculator” on google you’ll find it

[@morganrkbmx9776]

@@sonnyyo ok thanks for your help

[@romeosaunders3310]

bro what is the size of those spokes ..😏😌

[@jackmackinnon2590]

why do my nipples poke out of the rim. i just put together the wheel, and the spokes that get cross laced poke out a ton. i can’t put on the rim tape. so i don’t know what to do

[@sonnyyo]

Do the spokes stick out past the nipples? If so the spokes are too long

[@jackmackinnon2590]

@@sonnyyo i think that i forgot to organize the spokes, the flange that’s smaller i think thanks a longer spoke and opposite for the other side. awesome video tho!

[@emailyarabrandao]

hi. awesome video. just subbed. question please, as this is my frist time builing a whell. i have a folding bike, it is a 16 inch rim, with 28 holes, but the hub i have is a 36 holes. possible correct?

[@bernzespinoza]

Why not just say the 4th hole

[@robertcatesby4800]

@ 5:10 he doesn't explain he flipped the wheel over. Bad editing & confusing.

[@sonnyyo]

My apologies, I tried my best :(

[@bjlyankee1]

Too much missed information, just get to the point without all the bs

[@sonnyyo]

bjlyankee1 make a better one 🙂

[@Michael-pk2px]

Compared to the other videos, this is pretty straight to the point. At least hes not talking for 30mins

[@sonnyyo]

Michael you a real one 🤝

How can I fixed a 36 or 32 spoke wheel with a 28 hub pls help out
