Can u use these same concepts for bicycle wheels I mean do bike spokes have a difference in the angle of the the L shape at the end of the spoke I can see using the grease pluss I know a bicycle wheel don't nearly as fast as a motorcycle so I can see were building a motorcycle wheel would need a lot more attention and and skill but I would think you can make much better money working with motorcycles plus there is different patterns with bicycles does the same go with motorcycles

Yes, the principles are the same. This is my introductory article to bicycle wheel building (it contains links to articles and videos explaining all the details): bike.bikegremlin.com/9276/bicycle-wheel-building-basics/

Thanks for the video, I am restoring an old motorcycle with my dad and the rims/spokes are kinda rusty, so I will have to disassemble it all in order to proper remove the rust. It will be my first time lacing it back tho, so kinda nervous but your video helps me calm it down haha. Thanks

Boring is spot on! However your sharp as a tack,and your patience is empecible,im floored at how patient you are. Anyway thanks a lot man,I now know everything I didn't do right.patience being the first thing I do not have. But if you hire a pro, it'll cost ya about $250-to $300 ,so forget that man ,I got bad habits that are expensive,who's got $300 to throw down on some guy or lady,lace and true up your wheel. Of course I'm talking rear hub motor on a 4×20 rim and rear tire. I tried but there is a lot more to lacing and truing your back tire with a hub motor. Now my back wheel doesn't wobble from side to side,but wobbles up and down

Cool - glad it helped. :) I do plan to make "faster" (shorter) versions of my articles & videos (with links to the more detailed versions for when people get stuck), but I still haven't made the basic (long) versions for all the stuff I wish to cover, so it will be a while. :) Relja

As my dad said, a little patience, and a few kind words is all it takes. Same spoke pattern on any wheel.

I'm only half way through with the video, but I must say, I have never seen inner spokes on both sides going in the same direction. But it's clearly correct for this wheel. Hmm. I like your accent. Where are you from? I'm assuming you're in the US based on your YT title.

Hi Bill, I'm from Europe - Serbia, the city of Novi Sad (Serbian Amsterdam as far as cycling culture and infrastructure go). This is the "KZbin Community" post where I explained the channel name(s): www.youtube.com/@BikeGremlinUS/community Briefly put: Since I run two channels, one in my native (Serbocroatian - BikeGremlin RS), and one in English, I made different suffixes for each one, to prevent confusion. BikeGremlin US is easier for me to pronounce than BikeGremlin EN - which was my first idea for the English channel (pun intended) version. :) Fun fact: "RS" officially stands for "the Republic of Serbia," but I like to joke that it stands for "Relja Selja" which rhymes and in my native it means "Relja the Bumpkin." :) A bit more about me - on my website: www.bikegremlin.com/about/

Some people are born teachers, they do not patronise students, nor belittle them, nor assume previous knowledge. Good teachers take pleasure in sharing knowledge and skills. This tutorial made me feel like I was in the same room, being taught on a one to one basis. The wonderful thing is, I can watch this tutorial over and over again, but if I was being taught on a one to one basis, when I left the room, it would be over forever. Thank you for making a complex subject easier to understand, I am very grateful that you have shared your experience and expertise with us.

Thank you very much for the kind words. This was heart-warming to read. What you described is exactly my goal for most articles and videos: Make them in a way that the 10-20 year old me would have liked to learn from. :) Relja

Thanks! You include critical steps other videos I’ve watched didn’t. Particularly your tips about using the pre-existing marks on old hubs, and the different orientations of the rim holes. 👍

Cool, glad if it helped. My father, and a mechanic I learned a lot from, were both very detail-oriented ("do it right, patiently, or don't do it at all"). That's how I've learned to do stuff, and that's how I pass on the knowledge. :) Relja

This is the best video on this subject I have found. Thanks very much. By the way the sticks with cotton are commonly called Q-tips, after the predominant manufacturer and the tape is called masking tape. Cheers

Yes, thank you. There seems to be a lot of mystification of the wheel-building process (both for bicycle and for motorcycle wheels), while it is a simple straightforward process that just takes some patience, but has no “magic” or “art” in it. At least in my opinion and experience. Relja
