Simply the best wheel building tutorial out there, this helped me build an insanely strong hope and dt swiss fr560 dh wheelset that hasn't gone out of true after 2 years of punishing tracks. Thank you!!

This video changed my life. I was able to build my first set of wheels and I didn't die. So stoked to NOT be dependent on someone else when I want to try new hoops or hubs. This is awesome. THanks Ali.

Best lacing video I've seen. Nice job and much appreciated!

The best explanation/tutorial I've ever seen!

WOW, a bit long but well worth the watch, thanks Ali, I've watched your original video and as you mentioned in this one, I was stumped with the key spokes, especially 3x. I'm able to do 4x just about blind folded but 3x was a mystery, until now. I only watched this video once and got the 3x correct on my 1st try. Well explained, thanks bud, much appreciated 👍💪🙏

I watched your original video and have rebuilt multiple wheels for friends from that one video. I’m now building building a new wheel set for myself and you can count I’ll be using your technique!

Thanks ..wonderful work. Had ordered hubs from the engineer that created HiE engineering, a bespoke hub and bike components company in the States. He would send the most complex diagrams of spoke patterns that worked amazing on his hubs. The fronts were always 1 cross heads out. Beautiful wheel that looked radial. The rear was a 30 hub spoke with 20 on the drive 3 cross and 10 on the left 1 cross. Pulling spokes inside. High drive flange and low on the other. The left right balance was perfect, same torque each side due to the different spoke count. I'm still using the wheels from 40 years ago! He made his own flat rolled aluminum rims that used hollow rivets to hold together. The spokes went into the hollow rivets. 212 grams per rim. Amazing kit it was.

Epic guidance! Yesterday I managed to build my first wheel. Two-cross. Thanks again!

This was the best video, me and my boyfriend managed to lace the bike wheel and make it work! Thank you for your drawings and explanation!

Thanks Ali, even years later you are helping people with this one! I had watched several videos until yours helped clear up the 3X lacing pattern for me, thanks again.

Ali, as an amateur wheel builder who has only laced a few, your last wheelbuilding tutorial was the best I've found. This is going to be yet another incredible reference. Who better to learn wheelbuilding from than a trials pro who does 10 ft drops and puts wheels absolutely through the wringer. Thank you! As a side note, I've also now learned by experience why you use aluminum over brass nipples. I laced one wheel with brass, laced it tight, and now 3 of the brass nipples have broken and needed replacement. Aluminum next time for sure. Thanks again!

Assuming they're not defective, broken nipples suggests that your spokes aren't approaching the rim at a sensible angle. There's only a limited angle available for the nipple to seat properly in the rim. I've seen wheels built where the lacing was wrong for the angle of the rim drilling, and you could see the spokes were pulling the nipples sideways.

Brass nipples are usually very tough. I'd be surprised if you get better results with aluminum nipples, all else being equal.

This was the best tutorial i could find just build my first wheel thx to you❤

As a wheel builder who learnt my trade, working in bike shops throughout the 90s, I have always just done it as second nature much like yourself. Often in front of the tv with a coffee etc. But it was great to see such a vivid, organised and well thought out presentation of what goes on. Next time someone asks me for advice on lacing, I'll be directing them to this video. Great job Ali!

Thank you for taking the time to explain your experience to others. Like you, I was quite excited by the concept of the product, particularly the compact battery as I commute short distances. A few other customers have also shared their experiences and my balanced view has been to cancel the process. Customer service and Aftersales is a crucial part of any purchase like this and I no longer have confidence in the company, nor the idea of waiting months whilst they have the money. I will keep looking...

You are an excellent teacher. I use a piece of tape on my key spokes.

I just did 2 wheels in 4x because of your video 👍🏻👍🏻 Thankyou.

Extraordinary effort, Ali. Thank you very much!

@4:11 another handy trick is to snip the tip off a tooth pick and stick it into the top of the nipple just tight enough to grip it. This holds it well enough to thread it on too. Thanks for the tutorial, it's great evergreen content that people like me will keep finding.

I know im a bit late to the party, but I just cracked my old rim along with my frame and somehow broke the hub and today all the parts for the new wheel were delivered to me 😁 I was really drunk and even though I saw my hand and every spoke 3 times I could build my wheel flawlessly with the help of this astonishingly great video!

Build my 3rd set of wheels with this tutorial. Keep forgetting the steps, so great to have this detailed tutorial. Thanks!

I've come back to this so many times (every single wheel I build...)

So much info. Love how you are an hour in and say you might be repeating things. Class.

Thanks to this video I was able to lace my first carbon roadbike wheels. I also appreciate the lacing tips especially the one with the rear hub with different lacing patterns on each side. The Instructions were very clear and easy to comprehend. Thank you so much!😁

Really really good video! At around 1:10:00 I was about to add a comment on how to find key spoke hole when having different patterns on respective side, but you answered it right after! Love it!

This is probably the best lesson on KZread so far ! Well done. The drawings help a lot, so that's easy to understand.

Your original wheelbuilding video was what taught me to build wheels, and I go back to it again and again. You explain the technique better than any other video tutorial on the internet. Love the Khan Academy style of this new vid, too! Cheers Ali for teaching me a new skill!

Used a Parktool video to start with that I couldn’t follow and cocked up the first attempt. A mate linked me this, it’s bang on! Done in no time. Wish I’d seen the rim swap video first though….

Thanks Ali! I just re-laced a Wolber Super Champion 36h rim to a Specialized sealed bearing hub as a replacement for my vintage 1983 Specialized Expedition touring bike. Tensioning, truing, stressing here we come!

Your old wheel build video has helped me through 4 new wheels over a few years and they're all still holding strong so thank you for the amazing videos! I'm sure I'll be getting plenty of use from this one over the years so thanks in advance

This is the best wheel lacing video/ instructions I have ever watched. Thanks heaps.

I managed to make a perfect wheel, even though my spoke was a tad too long for the build. Solely because you put lots of amazing details to each type, so i can have many options. Thank you so much for the guide! *Needless to say, I'm 3 hour plus club at this point 😂

The best lacing video i have ever watched. Kudos to you. From the other videos, i have watched, It is really difficult to explain these things to the understanding of a novice like me, but you killed it here. Thank you very much. I appreciate

This must have been a labour of love, I know you scrapped the original and re-did it and hats off to you this is really excellent.

thanks for this video, i am building a 2 cross 32h wheel set for daughter's 24" bike and since this is 1st time i am building 2 cross wheels i stumbled upon this video, and now i have to releace my 3x wheels, coz i always start head inside :S and i put all spokes in hub to avoid stress while lacing :D

Watched the first 15-20 minutes then skipped to three cross, then built a wheelset today. Took me six hours to build them up and get them perfectly trued. I’ll feel good about my work after I get a couple rides on my new gravel bike. Thank you Ali for such an in depth walkthrough to include all the illustrations to help us out!

Awesome video thanks Watched the whole thing and fully built a 2 cross pattern Now let the truing commence

i can tell this took a lot of effort. thanks for the help, great video

This is the best tutorial I've seen so far. Very well explained with nice graphics. Now everybody can lace wheels. 😉 Thx

That was SOME video! I'm not even in a position to be building wheels yet but still watched it! loved it too!!

Since the early video I built some wheel thanks to your knowledge. Thank you very much for the info. Now I'll stop some time to watch your video. Thank you again.

this video does help! and you explain it very very well! thanks for sharing your knowledge.

Ali, this is the most comprehensive easy to follow guide for wheel builds i have run across. I work at a bike store and am just starting my second year there. i've done a number of wheel builds, but i don't get them often...just enough time to forget. I use your video each time to get oriented to the plan. I hope you keep this up for a long time, i plan on having new techs review this for their first builds in the future. thanks again!

Hey Ali, Just wanted to send a big thanks for this in depth video on lacing patterns and the tricks of getting it right. I laced up my first set of 700C vintage Campi rims on some new 130 mm spacing Miche Primato hubs to get some more life out of these rims. I was able to use the same original DT spokes and nipples (after a wash up) as the hub flanges of old and new matched. I don’t have a truing stand so they remain to be trued, especially the rear as I was able to get the front wheel pretty dialed in using the bike fork and brake pads. It’s interesting how it just takes one build to get the lacing technique internalized. Thanks again!

This is a brilliant resource, Ali! Thank you for sharing it. The hubs I ordered have finally come in, so I'm following along to make a 2-cross 700C wheelset for my gravel bike. Your descriptions make it so easy to follow along!

Watched the whole video and portions more than once...appreciate the time you put in. It helped for sure...since I like odd stuff, I was going to radial lace a 36 front, but went changed to a 1x since the spoke calculator showed the same length. I went elbows out, looks great and something you won't see on the BMX track more than likely. Did a 4x in the back since I use a disc and wanted to try that lace since I have only done 3x in the past. Gotta say, really had to tweak the 4x cross on the 20 inch carbons. No gouges though! Thanks Ali

This is great, you answer so many questions in a nice, "to the point" fashion. Definitely helping my confidence with my 1st set of wheels. thank you very much!

Brilliantly explained! Thank you

Thanks Ali, I just built my first wheel! Campagnolo Nuovo Tipo hub and Mavic Module E (both from the 1980s) with new Alpine db stainless spokes. Couldn't have done it without you.

Ridiculously thorough, I had given up on having amazing hubs because of wheelset cost...

You made this process so easy, thanks

An absolutely highly informative video to all the people who are into the cycling industry. All information just makes you sound like a more knowledgeable person in the cycling industry.

Thanks for this video! 4 cross lacing is the best!

Your first one is my go to for wheelbuilding, this is my new go to.

Alas!! finally I made it! thank you for this video!!

The best lacing video i've seen. Congratulations! Finally building a wheel makes sense!

Hands down the best wheel video I’ve seen! Thanks for making this! You’re a legend🤘

Probably I’m not gonna build a wheel any time soon, but now I know where to come when it’s time. Great illustrations Ali!

First time building a wheel from spare parts, I assembled the drive side in a 3x format... And the brake side was either 1x or 2x, because the spokes weren't long enough to do 3x again (I was re-using spokes, don't worry - I learned a lesson on that). Went to have my bike inspected and wheels trued before really riding it hard, and the technician said: "I don't even know HOW you did this, but you mixed spoke patterns, and still ended up making a well-centered wheel... I'm not even mad, I'm actually kinda impressed."

@@Ali_Clarkson He convinced me to have it re-laced by the shop, because we had no clue what quality the spokes were... Cheaper than a hospital bill, I figured. Wheel building is half art, half geometry, and half voodoo witchcraft 😂 I would have kept running the 2x+3x laced rear wheel if the spokes were known to be at least "decent." Thanks for all the information, Ali!

I never imagined I could lace my own wheels, thank you so much for this incredible tutorial! I used the 1 cross lacing on my front track wheel because my spokes are too long for radial lacing and I worked like a charm! Thank you again!

Well done mate, very helpful! Building my first wheels soon, I will be back to do a follow-along.

Superb tutorial! 1h club here! I laced 3x before a few times, no technique, just copied from a spare wheel. But tomorrow I'll build a new wheelset for my bike and I'll make an experiment, because I saw somewhere it can help the dished side of the wheel cope better with stress/tension (I'm actually more for the challenge than the benefit, if any). I'm gonna build a 2x pattern on the dished side of the wheels and 3x on the opposite side. Wish me luck!

Yep, 2x with 3x did it. It took me a few tries and I had to move everything to the left by 1 hole both in the rim and hub, but once I realized that it was straight on! Thanks for this extensive and insightful tutorial! Great job!

Ali thanks for very informative video. I would like to add my 2 cents to it. If someone is going to lace a wheel in more common/factory way (trailing spokes = heads out) just start to lace it from opposite side - for rear wheel disc side instead of dive side. Regards

Awesome. It had been a few years since my last wheel build. I used your radial chapter and a refresher on 3x. Took no time at all!

Will definetely watch this vid entirely. I could have used it today, I was building a pair of wheels and I am not that good at wheel building. Thanks a lot, this is gonna be very helpful for my future projects ! And thanks for all the hard work you put into making this whole video
