This and the previous on how to build the rim are the two best videos on how to build and true a rim thanks man you are a great teacher believe it or not no one else explains how to detention a rim and the small tricks you explained to help with the "heartache" lol thanks again great job!
This wheel building series is really an excellent tutorial! I purchased a wheel building book and I can honestly say that these 2 videos are easier to follow. Thanks a lot!
Just truing my first wheel and this video fills in a lot of the gaps missing from other vids - he has already worked out the problems a novice will encounter and answers all of them - a truly great teacher.
I hope you are doing well. That was so well done and included so many important details that make me feel very confident that I can build a very reliable, strong wheel! I've invested time watching some very seasoned Master wheel builders and I just want to say I think you're up there too thank you very much sir, may Jesus Christ bless you and your family.
Thats brilliant. THanks for showing all the details. Very comprehensive. Will be building my first wheelset this week and this is a huge help in giving me the confidence that i'll get it right!
I thank you very much Chris for taking your time to show the true way to true a wheel .I had a great time watching you show off your skills at trusting and building a wheel from beginning to end.I pick of some great tips for future use on my own wheels.desperately will consider in buying the trusting stand ,dish tool and tension spoke tool keep those videos goingVictor from New Jersey
This was an excellent followup to the first video. Clear and concise instructions. I liked that you pointed out that patience was needed and you would need to go through several iterations before completion. The idea of breaking the process up over a few days seems to be well advised. Can you tell me where you purchased your rim, hub, spokes, etc? Maybe an additional video on how to make a wise purchasing decision when selecting components would be nice. Thanks again for these inspirational videos and helping me spend my money on some new wheel building tools. :-)
This is the best instructional video I've watched. In the past I used a couple vids by "TheBikeTube". However, I find this one to be much better and if followed properly, your wheel build will likely work well your fist attempt. Thanks for the vid!
thanks a lot for uploading this tutorial. I was able to tear apart an old wheel, put back together, play with the dishing and got it true. thanks for helping me putting a skill in my pocket. will invest in one of those tools to measure tension. thanks again
Thank you, I want to suggest you that please make a video on wheel building for a completely new 27.5/700c wheel, how can I choose the right hub for my wheel rim? How can I choose spoke length? This kind of video will be very helpful for us.
Wow! Incredibly useful information. Why do people typically use a rim like the Dyad, with a 19mm inner, for touring bikes? Wouldn’t it be wiser to use a wider rim, such as the Cliffhanger with a 25 mm inner width? Thank you the information and expertise that you have shared.
Thanks for the thorough explanation. I’ve done motorcycles rims for 15 years or so and learned; to center the hub just flip your wheel in the stand making the dish tool superfluous. Am I missing something?
So tighten one side and loosen the other side? I tried doing that (before I come across to your video) on one of the rims and I accidentally broke a spoke!😠 Now some are really tight, and some are slightly tight. My other rim will take a lot longer to do. And no I don't own a wheel truning stand.😞
you have to make sure to tighten and loosen in really small increments, half a turn at most. This will prevent you from over truing as well as over tightening. A truing stand really makes it easier but if you can properly position a zip tie on your forks or chain stay, it works pretty well.

I have the book "The bicycle Wheel" and it sucks in a way this vid is far better.

Really enjoyed the demystification of wheel building. Thanks so much!

Best video so far I found on all of UA-cam about the task of truing a 36 "spoker"! Thank you
Best presention, instruction, I have seen yet. Thank you.
Man, I wish more videos on UA-cam were so clear. Perfect.
Wow! I heard it wasn't easy to build a wheel. Now I see why. Thanks for the lesson! 😊
Thanks for the tutorial and in-depth steps and why you do them!

This information is absolutely invaluable! Thank you so much.
The best tutorial . I'll be happy for any other bicycle tutorials from you .
Very detailed instruction. Thanks for taking the time to show us how to build a wheel. Now I can't wait to try it myself.

Good informative video. Thanks.
Thank you Chris! Very well explained and demonstrated, So far I have built 3 wheels and rebuilt two with your videos..

Great Tutorial!! Thank you for doing that! I feel confident I can do this now!
Awesome job just built my first wheel using your video and the wheel is working great.
Excellent video Chris, thank you.
Thank you very much Chris for posting the helpful video..
Thanks you are FIRST to say you only need One side for Truing I Thought So again Thanks
Good job, very thorough.
Choose your vids to do this , loved the flow. Made it so easy to do. Made my own nipple driver from an old screw driver (plus a file and dremel) :)
it's meditative just watching this...
This is the most beautiful wheel I have ever seen
You made my first build easy squeazy! Thanks
Good one useful
Thank you, I want to suggest you that please make a video on wheel building for a completely new 27.5/700c wheel, how can I choose the right hub for my wheel rim?
How can I choose spoke length?
This kind of video will be very helpful for us.
Thanks so much for the detailed explanation.
Wow! You are the man. Your tutorial is way better than the DT Swiss one. Thanks a lot.
How do you prepare the spoke threads before lacing?
I just built my first wheel. Thanks!
Wow! Incredibly useful information.
Why do people typically use a rim like the Dyad, with a 19mm inner, for touring bikes?
Wouldn’t it be wiser to use a wider rim, such as the Cliffhanger with a 25 mm inner width?

Excellent video . Thank you
bravo best how to video I have seen!!!!!!!!!
Chris, where'd you go?
Muchas gracias por el video y muy bien esplicado,ok
now I see why they came out with mag wheels
why shouldn''t the spokes all be exactly the same tension and be true? imprefections in the spokes? or imperfections in the rim? Both? why?
Thanks for the thorough explanation. I’ve done motorcycles rims for 15 years or so and learned; to center the hub just flip your wheel in the stand making the dish tool superfluous. Am I missing something?
Great. I hope will come next stages.
just subscribed!!!!!!
Are you sure you aren't Patrick Stewart's son?
Thank you, I saved on repairing my wheel during a trip through Peru. (UA-cam: Cycling South America Stan Jaslo)
Lyric octopusian handy hands good and happy performance.
very very useful, tks

What spoke lengths did you use
Thanks man!
What number should the spoke be at on the meter?😕
nice
Thanks bro
All you need is not what you promote it's just the cheapest spoke wrench and wheel in bike frame and a little intelligence and patience
