Thanks, brother. Best technique video out there for lacing wheels. Flubbed three attempts before reorienting myself with your vid. Worked like a charm.
I want really thank you. I just bought a bmx 21tt and road my black beauty for one day, and realized i was rolling slowly instead of smooth and fast went back home to find my front wheel, was not trued properly. I decided to unlace the rim without realizing what did😫😫😫😥😥, yeah, i am a real bone head. But thanks to you!!! I was able relace my front wheel and, i can true the wheel also because i watched the 2nd video to this one. You guys at +bnc are the best thanks so much now i have two skills i can make money with.
Mark D. Miller I’m currently about to lace a 48hole rim in 4x. Will this video still work? On the first step, want didn’t make sense to me was skipping 1 hole on hub (I get that) but skip 4 holes in the rim..🤷🏼♂️ I get there’s going to be a spoke from the opposite side going in the middle. Maybe there’s a better guid for 48hole I don’t know about ? Thanks
Update I laced my 48h rims last night in 4x pattern, this video will NOT work for it. This video seems to be decent to follow if you are doing 48s! ua-cam.com/video/WAYNYggjb8A/v-deo.html Hope it helps someone
Unless it's broken, no matter how bent a spoke is, it'll be straightened when you true the wheel. Otherwise, your wheel won't be true or get quickly untrue if it's not stiff enough.
I used to work at a bike shop in the mid-80's, I wish this tutorial was available back then. You really simplified the process for people to lace their own wheels. I have explained it to many customers that wanted to do it themselves, but more than half came in to have them trued and they would always overlap which created more work for me an the other guys. We would re-lace the last 18 or 24 spokes ourselves. Thank you for your excellent video.
two things i learned to do but still kinda hate doing. building a wheel. and drilling and tapping a frame for gyro tabs. cant remember how to do derailers and gears. that was always a piss off.
Absolutely amazing. One thing I would suggest is if it's a back hub with different sized flanges or if you have really small flanges it's better to start on certain sides and is sometimes also better to put the spokes in before you need to otherwise the spoke next to it will cover the hole and you can't get it in.
Your instruction was super helpful. Thank you. Lacing a 305 wheel today. Smaller wheels mean more bending, I think. 349 was the smallest I've done before now.
Thank you so much for making this video! I followed step by step from the beginning of the video you explained it in great details now I know how to lace a bmx wheel
Watched a few vids on lacing and they were hella confusing. Just came across this video and followed along so easily! Really well explained and made lacing look simple!! I will give lacing my first attempt tomorrow! Will let you know how it goes! Thanks brother!!!
Definitely the best lacing vid thanks. Maybe I'll actually build my own wheels for my kink curb once it's time thanks to your video. Your definitely one of my favorite bmx youtubers👍
Dominic Cox I just built my wheels for my 2017 kink curb my wheel is a kink boulevard front hub with kink atlas rims and a kink incite cassette in the back
thats shitty. my local shop used to charge 40$ and they put work in. pre stretched the spokes and stuff and tightened them back up so youd have less issues with a new wheel breaking in. the one wheel builder could build a wheel that was rock solid day one. and the other one had some tricks he used on certain peoples wheels that kept them going a long time. locktite the nipples. the blue semi permanent stuff. works like grease to prevent any issues of rust or grinding. but keeps those nipples tight. also if you run brakes you can use them as a ghetto truing stand, if you can get your wheel straight from side to side a small hop isnt too bad. and some shops charge less for just fixing a hop then a whole wheel truing.
Here in the Philippines only cost $2 each rim set, just bring your spokes hubs and rims..they will do the job and you gave them 4 to 5 dollars.. and all good... problem here is the parts were too expensive..😅 labor is cheap
Doesn't this rim have offset spoke holes? Meaning the spokes on the LEFT hub flange, are threaded into the spoke holes on the RIGHT side of the rim, to increase the spoke angle and thereby increased wheel strength? This is the whole benefit of using an offset spoke hole rim design.
Don't forget to mention that some rims have offset and angled nipple holes which need to have the spoke installed correctly for proper wheel truing, great video though
Thanks for your reply. I laced my first wheel yesterday and have watched over 30 youtube videos and they all tell you to start here or there but not explaining WHY. From my observation the reason you start from the left of the valve hole is because it is the top of the hole. If you start from the right side then the hole is at the bottom which will be wrong. You have one of the best videos. Maybe if you made another one and explain Why? you will have the best video. Thanks again.
hello sir this is awesome i dont have my own bmx yet but someday im going to have one bit im watching this tutorial so i have a k owledge on how to do this my self this is very educational to me please continue making tutorials i love bmx eaven though i dont have one yet but i am practicing on my mom japanese female bike love this tutorial sir watching from Philippines iirr
This should work in theory with a 48 spoke as well, but be 4 groups of 12 Gonna give it my best shot and use your advice and see what happens. Thanks for the help bro! Much Love
when i was doing step 4 (the last group of spokes) the wheel became very stiff and one flange of the hub was directly in the centre of the rim while the driver side flange was sticking out to the right of the rim. Any ideas on where i went wrong???
Dam bro u make it look so easy.i spent all day litteraly tryna do my spokes but i couldnt bro just couldnt. but now after watchin your video it just looks so eazy even tho its not.. Thank you bro ur video is on point . think i actually learned something from you today might just get up n try n fix that fucker rite now at 11:26 pm
Another method though but it’s good. But I prefer to lace the other side first before other, so that it wouldn’t be hard for me to insert spokes when lacing the other side. Good tutorial. But of course I want to try this method.
what if for a small rim 12 inch with 16 spokes 8x8 . what would be the distance ? like you started with 4 holes gap so what if on a 16spokes 8x8? and also can it be customize the rim to make it more spokes?
On my front wheel the spokes on the right side are petruding out like normal but on the left side the spokes are flat and not equally petruding like Thier supposed to any ideas on why?
Once all the spokes were in on one side I flipped it over and it’s no longer going over two and under one spoke. More like over one under one. The hub flanges are uneven, one big side one small side
+MatthewWiggins Doesn't matter which flange you start on as long as both flanges are the same size.. If you're working on a hub with 2 different flanges than it's best to separate both sized spokes and start with the smaller flange.
I have yet to lace up such exclusive wheel myself so I can not shed any information particularly to lacing them up.. Being so expensive I should make that a future informational video to help you and others

Lol this truly is the best wheel lacing video
felpel102 worst
caden boss rude boi
Link?
Finally a straight forward, talkin facts only. Thx dude
"Bend the spoke without damaging it"
*proceeds to permanently bend spoke*
Unless it's broken, no matter how bent a spoke is, it'll be straightened when you true the wheel. Otherwise, your wheel won't be true or get quickly untrue if it's not stiff enough.
You should have more subscribers man. You made it look to easy! definitely going to lace my wheel by myself next time. Thanks for the tutorial :)

Thanks for the help I was having trouble on how to put the spokes but after I watch this video I got it right thanks man🙏🏽🙏🏽
Laced my first wheel today thanks to you man!! Thank you so much!!!!
I've never seen a wheel being laced before very interesting you explained it well cool vid 👍🏼
+Martin Dennis Thanks Martin!
Bro this is the best way I've seen all day thank you
Absolutely amazing.

Thanks so much, because of you ive spray painted my wheels again savimg me a total of £60
Great video very straight forward ! Its not my first time building a wheel but its a rare occasion so needed to refresh my memory
Your instruction was super helpful. Thank you. Lacing a 305 wheel today. Smaller wheels mean more bending, I think. 349 was the smallest I've done before now.
Thank you so much for making this video! I followed step by step from the beginning of the video you explained it in great details now I know how to lace a bmx wheel
We are glad to hear that this tutorial helped you. More content is in-the-works right now and we appreciate your support!
hands down best video for lacing!👌🔥🔥🔥
+Dakota Brown Thanks Dakota!!! We tried to put an end to annoying and confusing lace videos.
Thanks bro, cool vid. I laced my first wheel when I was seventeen.I didn't know jack at the time, I only knew his brother jacked up!
Watched a few vids on lacing and they were hella confusing. Just came across this video and followed along so easily! Really well explained and made lacing look simple!! I will give lacing my first attempt tomorrow! Will let you know how it goes!
Thanks brother!!!
Thanks for this great video!
Built my 1st set of rims thank you for a great how to video
Definitely the best lacing vid thanks. Maybe I'll actually build my own wheels for my kink curb once it's time thanks to your video. Your definitely one of my favorite bmx youtubers👍
+Dominic Cox Thanks man. That means a lot. As long as you make sure spokes are the correct lenght for the combination of parts you should be fine.
Cool I was thinking about Madera pilot v2 and g sport rims
Dominic Cox I just built my wheels for my 2017 kink curb my wheel is a kink boulevard front hub with kink atlas rims and a kink incite cassette in the back
Took me half an hour and my wheel was laced. Mixed up at step 2, and recognized it at step 4. But still your tutorial was a massive help!
Thank you lil bro. You just taught this old dog a new MONEY SAVING trick!!! Excellent job!!!!
U helped me so much thank you!!💯
this video saved my life & my wallet! my local bike shop wanted $65 each wheel. Thumbs up, Subscribed & gonna check out the next video on Truing. :D
thats shitty.
my local shop used to charge 40$
and they put work in. pre stretched the spokes and stuff and tightened them back up so youd have less issues with a new wheel breaking in.
the one wheel builder could build a wheel that was rock solid day one. and the other one had some tricks he used on certain peoples wheels that kept them going a long time. locktite the nipples.

very nice video and experience, i thought this would be boring but i threw on some of my favorite songs and chilled
Best video everrrr of lacing bmx wheels, lacing my new cinema rims with my hubs nowwwwww! Easy asf
Awsome detailed simple way, your a legend
Great video good teaching underwater playing in the background dropwizz x.
Doesn't this rim have offset spoke holes? Meaning the spokes on the LEFT hub flange, are threaded into the spoke holes on the RIGHT side of the rim, to increase the spoke angle and thereby increased wheel strength? This is the whole benefit of using an offset spoke hole rim design.
There is not many of those gsport vsxl(+) fly x brace ...
This is probably like the best how to video ever
+Victor Carrillo Thanks Victor!
Thanks man u helped me fix my bike
+Angel Vazquez That's Awesome!
Dude... Just laced a new alloy rim to a unicycle that was run over by a car! I wish I would have found yours first, Thanks!
Just did it! Thx man going to true it in the shop
You gain a subscriber because of this easiest tutorial. Thanks man!🤜🤛
excellent video, i'm ready to try it this way. clear directions and seems like a good way to do it
Great video! Thank’s!
Really a great video to get this done by your own. Gonna try it for sure👌🙅
Don't forget to mention that some rims have offset and angled nipple holes which need to have the spoke installed correctly for proper wheel truing, great video though
We plan to create videos that incorporate more in-depth information for reasons just like this. Thanks William!
Well done. Great method.
This helped me a lot i never knew how to lace a rim before
+Official Yung Ninja We have more expert maintenance videos coming soon!

I'm replacing a hub on a Columbia Electric bicycle. I can check the pattern before I pull it apart and your video should help me get it laced.
thanks, i laced my wheel with no problems.
Best video on spokes!
i’m looking at getting alienation wheels and profile minis, what spokes will i need
Best video. Cheers!
Well that worked great, thank you.
The lost art of bike building. Very simple once you try it a couple times and get the pattern down with a good video like this.
thanks for your video bung
Just laced my first wheel thanks to this video! Thanks!
Nice video Men, really helpfull thanks
I currently have a 13T and I’m going to be buying a 9T driver but I’d like to keep the 13T. Would it differ if I were to swap it?
Great video super clear
This should work in theory with a 48 spoke as well, but be 4 groups of 12
Gonna give it my best shot and use your advice and see what happens.
Thanks for the help bro!
Much Love
Super Tutorial !
great video!
Very useful cheers bud
Thank you so much for this tutorial, i can now fix my own wheel and really as of now, I'm just Done lacing my mtb wheel.😂 But I'm a bmx fan anyway 🙏😇
when i was doing step 4 (the last group of spokes) the wheel became very stiff and one flange of the hub was directly in the centre of the rim while the driver side flange was sticking out to the right of the rim. Any ideas on where i went wrong???
Hi I did manage to do my brother bike weel and your video helped me
Dam bro u make it look so easy.i spent all day litteraly tryna do my spokes but i couldnt bro just couldnt. but now after watchin your video it just looks so eazy even tho its not.. Thank you bro ur video is on point . think i actually learned something from you today might just get up n try n fix that fucker rite now at 11:26 pm
This is a great video.....if only it wasn't a music video!
Really helpfull video 👍😁
If you have a electric hub motor without rim and spokes, how calculate right length of the spots for different Rim sizes ?
For some reason when i do this, when i get to the last 9 spokes, the hub is completely offset to the outside of the rim, any idea whats happening?
Thanks managed to build my first wheel in 50 mins
Looks easier to do now! Nice do u have one for 48 spokes?
When building a wheel with spokes,does it have to be in the same or opposite direction on both sides,which one is it,but spokes stick out.
Another method though but it’s good. But I prefer to lace the other side first before other, so that it wouldn’t be hard for me to insert spokes when lacing the other side. Good tutorial. But of course I want to try this method.
How do you lace a 40 hole rear wheel? The wheel set of the premium set on a 2005 Haro Nyquist R1 36front 40rear
i have the primo N4FL front hub it doesnt have that flange thing can you help me out?
what if for a small rim 12 inch with 16 spokes 8x8 . what would be the distance ? like you started with 4 holes gap so what if on a 16spokes 8x8? and also can it be customize the rim to make it more spokes?
The Best. Thanks
Does it work the same with 48H? thanks 😊
Great! Thanks!
Do I use the same steps for a 48h?
nice, simple and very educational
best video ever
first time lacing a rim
but i did it well but i cant make my hub center?why?
On my front wheel the spokes on the right side are petruding out like normal but on the left side the spokes are flat and not equally petruding like Thier supposed to any ideas on why?
Once all the spokes were in on one side I flipped it over and it’s no longer going over two and under one spoke. More like over one under one. The hub flanges are uneven, one big side one small side
what it the spoke length in mm you used??
Yo how do I know which flange to start on? If I have a RHD freecoaster which flange would I start on
+MatthewWiggins Doesn't matter which flange you start on as long as both flanges are the same size.. If you're working on a hub with 2 different flanges than it's best to separate both sized spokes and start with the smaller flange.
hello
i want to assemble a bicycle wheel i bought hub 32 holes i bought rims 26 / 32holes but I do not know how long it should be spokes :((
Thank you so much❤
I have the Ikon carbon wheels. Do I double cross the spokes or triple cross?
I have yet to lace up such exclusive wheel myself so I can not shed any information particularly to lacing them up.. Being so expensive I should make that a future informational video to help you and others
I'm trying to get some spokes from Amazon for my 20" folding bike. what size or Length should I get?
Go to Google and search "bicycle spoke calculator"
Sir what size Po spokes for size 20" 36holes rim???
could you tell me the background song please ? thanks for the tutorial too
Can i do this to my 48 hubs hole and 36 rim
Do you have any tutorial for how to calculate the spoke size for BMX 20" wheelset? Thx
If you haven’t found anything yet, there is a spoke calculator website that is accurate
184 mm is probably the best for this
I like the 1-6 3 cross technique
