I instantly trust any man who wears his glasses on a leash and drinks juice from a wine glass. Clearly a person of wisdom and culture.

I loved the wine glass next to the workspace... at that point, I knew this was going to be a realistic DIY video 😀

Lol this was so easy to understand i don't see a point in even buying one anymore. Thank you for this.

Hands down the best ebike wheel building video out there! Thanks so much!

Yes but building an ebike wheel isn't any different from building a normal bike wheel.

I think he specifically did elbows out for both stability and also because hub motors put much more torque on spoke heads so you can't do alternating elbows in/out like a lot of road bike wheel builds recommend

Also a 1 cross reduces the spoke angle compared to the normal 3 cross

I love your attitude. You are the man to listen to. The man who builds freakin wheels all day long!!

Now that’s what I call good old fashion customer service. Thanks for sharing your knowledge fine sir. I will be placing an order.

I love it when pros have a sense of humour. Great video!

This probably saved me from hours and hours of frustration and mistakes. Thanks!

Best wheel building video ever!! Robert you rock! I especially enjoyed your comments at the end. :) (You have built a few wheels for me.)

Thanks Robert you certainly did inspire me LOL. If you hear any cursing coming from the direction of Florida I didn’t listen well enough. Thanks for the clear instruction and humor. I’m very easy to confuse and I think I got it the first time. That’s an accomplishment for sure. Now I’ve got to pick up the hub, rim, and spokes and see what I am made of LOL.

Thank you so much for making this video. Fixing the lateral and out of round movement with zip ties was pretty easy. Just have to be patient of finding the culprits. Best teacher ever.

Wheel building is easy once you understand what is going on. I built a few back when I ran a small bike shop. It was handy having a large selection of spoke lengths. As there weren't any online spoke calculators then I worked up the formula.

I'm sure that would help keep your trigonometry fresh on the mind! We're pretty spoiled these days being able to have computer programs do all the math for us.

Thank you now maybe I will remember all this great info, without re-watching it a dozen more times.

Thanks for taking the time in putting this together for us all. I was curious of the process, now I have been educated and took much value from this tutorial. I wish you well in your endeavours.

The outro is proper tho! Thats where its at!

Thank you Robert. It's not Rocket Surgery. We just need to know how it's done. Thanks to Grin Technologies for keeping it do-able for all of us and taking the pressure off some of the Roberts out there. Loved the video.

Explain very well for the average person that's good with their hands. Not all of us have a bike shop to work in. I'm relacing an Alex rim also. A 1200 watt ebikeling rear hub. Tried solid Tannus tires. Worked great til they cracked my rim 6 inch from the weld point and at the Weld point. A700c × 40 tire a 23mm inside with a rim. I know hardtail without any suspension all the shock was being absorbed by the rim. The solid tires had the pressure of roughly 80 psi. They were extremely light wait. Gave a minor rolling resistance. And could never get a flight which was great. Do the rim cracked thank you for the video very helpful and knowledgeable person thank you

A store in Mississauga told me it would be about $51 to repair 1 spoke. After seeing this, I'll do it myself. I have a zip tie!

hi Robert am one of your customer and i thank you for your great skill i never own a better hub motor :3

Your building a wheel for me currently, should be shipped out any day. Thank you.

Great Vid! Explains clearly, the arcane art of wheel building, with some humour thrown in for good measure.

Absolutely bloody brill video. Love the idea of taking the hammer to the wheel! Many a time I've felt like doing that!

Your the coolest bro, I'll maybe one day do this. My 1st was my unicycle, 60 years back. Dad said if you take that apart , you'll never get it back together, ha, showed him.

This is great! I have my hub motor, just waiting for the spokes to ship- Thank you for the incredible calculator!

You make it look so easy, but it is an art form and if my e-bike ever reaches 70mph, I’d want a pro to build the wheels, brilliant video.

this is great. you're genuine. thanks for showing how things work. hope to do business with you soon. thanks again. Andrew

You are a master... I have built my own wheels before and learned several tricks.. The oil, the nipple installer, I could go on... I love the wooden hammer handle. I used to squeeze spoke groups until my hands were RAW... thank you so much!!

Brilliant , enjoyed watching someone make it look methodical :)

wonderful addition to the knowledge base of ebikes!! bravo!!

My recent eMTB conversion has left me with odd wheels and have thought about this for a while, you make it look so simple that I may indulge in this black art to settle my odd wheel OCD, you are a star, expertly delivered - I have much to learn fellow Robert :)

just what i was looking for , thanks for the video sir!

what a fantastically informative video. That really doesn't seem as hard as it looks after you explained it! nice that with the exception of the cross pattern, this applies to normal hubs, too. For those of us that want or need to replace them.

Excellent video. Clear, thorough easy to understand and without the b.s.

I been looking for this information to fix my wheel for a while, thank you very much ! Very helpful video!! Thank you very much 🙏

What a great video. When I am ready to build, I will be coming back to this one!

This is pretty great.

Really great walkthrough. Thankyou

You're a great teacher. Great video edits as well. Thank you!

Fantastic! Thanks so much, i just did my first winter and i need a full rebuild. This is well explained and from the shop to you living room Awesome work.

Cheers guys, loved the outtakes :-), very helpful as I need to rebuild a wheel.

You are a legend I could not work out how to do this and was just going to give up watched this and because you explained it so well I'm just about to start it again thank you very much for taking the time to make this it's awesome to see a professional 😊

Perfact. What a great video making a scray job look very straight forward. Thank you so much for your help. Your a good Guy ;) .

Great video, thank you. And thank you for the spoke calculator.

Absolutely brilliant video! Thanks 🙏

Thanks so much, I bought an ebike and the motor went out. I was sent just a motor and had to install, which was pretty simple after watching your video. I also purchased Grin's updated torque arm, which is working perfectly on my 1000w ebike forks.

Fantastic job. You made it look easy...Thanks. Very motivating..

Thanks for putting this together. I learned a ton.

Hey good to hear. There's a lot more nuance that we didn't go into regarding many specific hub motor wheelbuilding scenarios, but a large majority of hub motor builds are well addressed with this general technique. ie, single cross, all bends on outside of flange, and oiling (not loctiting) the nipples.

Thank you for this video dude!

Robert did such a fantastic job of repairing my 20 x 4 fat tire bike wheel the thing is running perfectly he did a great job

Thanks again. This was very helpful.

Wine glass and a knowledgeable but easy going guy on a sofa yup this video tutorial is a winner

This is gold! Thanks!

Love the ending of this informative tutorial!

Thanks for this, I used some old bits I had laying around to lace a 250w geared motor to a 700c rim, using spokes mostly from a 26" wheel and some 700c spokes. I followed your pattern but I had more of a harsh angle on the spokes due to them being longer, but it did it and it works perfectly, managed to true it up quite close.

Thanks for the great video

Thank you, I learned so much from this video.

Very well explained. Almost looking forward to my wheels needing repair!

Excellent production value. Thank you for sharing.

The first person I've ever seen actually set a bicycle wheel right, besides myself that is, lol. I've spent 6-8 hours before figuring out and teaching myself how to properly align a wheel, because the place I bought it from said it was within specs. The brakes were dragging on parts of the wheel. I was mad! Anyways I got it figured out wish I'd have had this video then. I've since put twisted spokes on my harley. Lol, anyways, many thunbs up on great lacing video.

Inspiring! I will build this ebike wheel... When I'll be retired!

Love this I am a freak bike builder I am slowly swapping my bike over get er done power thanks for all the great tips❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Thanks for the video. I hope it is half as easy as you make it look. Had a wheel with a bad motor, and another wheel severely bent after a crash. About to attempt to put good motor in straight rim with new spokes. Good times.

Fantastic video. Love the blooper in the end

This video encouraged me to lace up a new rim after I buckled the cheapo junk rim that came in my ebike kit. I now have a matching set with a rim (DM18) that I have trusted for many years. Thanks for the video.

Right on and glad to hear it helped and gave you the confidence boost to give it a go! Most stock hub motor kits have pretty budget quality rims, spokes, and lacing jobs, which does a disservice to the whole movement.

Informative and fun to watch. U Da Man.

Out standing videos 👍👍 buddy good information to know if I need to do my own work great job thanks again for your help

A real pleasure to watch an expert at work (play?). Thank you.

LOVE THIS GUY

Thank you! I'm getting ready to lace up the hub motor on my bike and this video gives me hope. I tried the ”figure it out as I go" method once and needless to say, I no longer have that wheel. I'm gonna order spokes after dinner! 🎉

Fantastic!

simply brilliant

Thank you sir! Tomorrow I lace up.

Amazing video I'm going to build my own wheel...

Definitely earned my sub

Great video!!!!! 😊

Thank you now I can fix my cabbaged (sqaure) wheel. Grin bring out some realy usefull videos.
