one thing he didn't mention was that the inbound spoke always goes under the outbound spoke AKA the down spoke goes under the up spoke! if you look closely he laces the wheel exactly like I explained
💯🙌🏻
is this right? i just did a set using this method and the way you describe it, its would be 3x all under crosses. Down spoke over up makes it under under over counting from the inward Jbend outward. I always thought you would want spoke contact for a stiffer wheel.
Not always! Maybe for strength, but Schwinn didn’t cross under even on prewar wheels.
Corona Califas checking I. Showing love !
His down spoke goes over the up spokes . Wymmmm
Dude! You da MAN! I'm 67 years old and spent my life working with tools and repairing equipment, but had never laced a wheel before. I must have watched a half dozen how to videos without success. Finally, after watching yours, I was successfully able to lace my wheel! Thanks!
Hilarious..just turned 67 today..im lacing my first wheel
I am building my first set of wheels in 49 years next week. I have watched a ton of videos. This was probably one of the better understood instructions. Gosh, thanks guys.
Let us know how it turns out! Best of luck, and thanks for the support!
The easiest way to lace a wheel is to pay someone else to do it! ;) It took me SOOOOOOOOOO damn long to finally do my first successful 3x and 4x wheels properly.
Also.... I have the same exact '87 GT performer, just in all chrome. Found it (by painfully landing on it) while playing on a ropeswing in the river that runs through my neighborhood half buried in the sand in like 2007 and brought her back to life! I asked the guy who technically owned the house where the rope swing was if I could take it and he basically said "Wow, now you kids take garbage away for free, and even underwater?! It's all yours, buddy!"
This is probably the best bmx channel on the tube,,no shit!
I am an auto body tech have been my entire life! That being said I love watching guys with skills and a trade like that showing and helping people out ❤ showing the right way! And being entertaining as well ,, I may just get box bike because of channels like this Rad BMx ,, couple others! I grew up in 80s 90s ! Got sub and viewer out of this guy! Great video,,,I can’t give enough good vibes to this bike shop and channel! ❤❤🤘🏻🤩😎👍🤪😉
You made our day brother!! Thank you for the kind words
Oh man, finally a video that explains it easily. Why do people build wheels any other way. I've tried four or five different methods and this was the only one that worked. Thanks so much!
Health is wealth and knowledge is power.
Y’all out here giving an arsenal of information for the community. Definitely like this vid and share the knowledge. We all have 2-4 wheels and some spokes
Omg thank you. I could never figure out the 3 cross and you made it easy. Thank you for saving me 200 bucks
Phu's hip thrusts earned this vid a like.. gonna save this jammie for when i finally pull the trigger on some Ti spokes.. much love!
Holy cow this was the best wheel video I’ve ever seen in terms of teaching and how many ways u went about explaining, you didn’t just explain one way
The way he found the hole for the second spoke next to the valve was genius. That's the way I'm going to do it. Thank you!
Finally someone who actually managed to help me learn everyone else does it the twist method way more difficult this was smooth sailing i felt i was moving just a tad slower but was keeping up pretty well minus the speed ups lol
The first and six trick is a really super handy thing to know as well as a wheel builder because if you ever break a spoke while riding or mess up while lacing and have to remove/replace a spoke you will know exactly where it goes and how it should be positioned in the wheel no matter where at on the hub just by counting out
Seriously awesome method for lacing wheels, and entertaining too. Thanks for posting this!
I love building wheels. It's so satisfying.
Really is
Thanks for this video! It helped me lace up my first wheel after all these years. MySpace bmx legend! You rock Alfredo!
That was a great video. When you get done building a wheel you actually feel accomplishment in its truest sense.
The trueness of the wheel determines the trueness of the sense, in my experience with lacing motorcycle wheels.
This is the most convoluted way to lace up a traditional 3 cross spoke pattern wheel. Its much easier to lace both sides 'pulling' spokes (inside) starting at the valve hole to avoid his crossed spokes over the valve stem. Then lace all outside spokes so you don't have to fish spokes between crossed spokes on the opposite side of the hub. Also having a proper spoke length calculator to confirm spoke lengths before starting is critical.
Going to try to lace up some old Suzue high flange hubs to some Sun Envy rims 3X. Just bought the spokes, hope I don't botch it, knowing myself I'll screw something up the first try.😂 Hope I even ordered the right spoke length after measuring the hubs, but I already have everything, so I guess I'll find out. 😁 This video will be helpful either way and I'm sure I'll be referencing back to it several times. Thanks Alfredo and Phu! 👍
Just did this and it worked pretty well. The added bonus is that the even X allows you to clock the hub and align the valve hole and the hub branding predictably for the extra cool points. Now to find the vid on how to true up the wheels.
I watched a vid from you 5 years ago how to lace a wheel today and I built my first wheel I used a freecoaster hub so happy thx
I'm definitely coming back to this video in the near future, I have to upgrade from single wall rims, landing a spin trick just slightly under or over rotated and I spend countless hours trying to true it back even though it's way past the point of saving.
Just wanted to say that I hope you guys make a video in how to choose the right spoke size or it the spoke size matters and if there’s any difference or benefit In having a more larger or shorter spoke size or idk if y’all made one video already lol
Great video! Of all the ones I’ve watched on how to do this, this is by far the easiest I’ve seen! Two questions though.
1. When crossing, how are you crossing? Does that 6th spoke go over or under the other?
2. Also, when doing the drive side, is the spokes shorter? I’ve seen in some videos they say you need shorter spokes for the drive side because the flange is bigger? I’m totally new to building wheels but I really want to try it!
Not sure if I comment on this before. Phu just showed the magic to all. Do you see have you tried? Thank you phu for showing even those who thought they could not ever build a wheel. Or maybe I'm just Dreaming
Can one of your episodes talk about spokes and how to pick, measure and cut spokes to the right size for hubs that have a high flange side and a low flange side?
Use a calculator. You gotta know trig to measure spokes. Every time mfg. Publishes ERD and a basic caliper to measure your hub and chuck all that info into a spoke calculator. I use 3 different calculators to make sure I have the right length
Where are all the epic BMX bike shop videos because I watch the playlists and they’re not all in there they’re mixed in with some others. Keep doing the epic videos they’re awesome!! that dude is funny
sure dig this channel. built a ramp off my porch today and been launching off a few ( im 58 years old ). peace
Yessss my preaches have been heard! Phu is gonna build a frankenbike! With old/new school parts!!!!! im pumped cuz im riding an 87' performer myself wich is also modified and converted to new school... i never been so exited to watch the next vid haha cant wait!
I remember switchin rims at the skatepark back in the day id duct tape the spokes together so they stayed in the same place and jus undo the spokes and switch the rims out .
Also i used to twistlace /snowflake the spokes for my mates for a tenner (£10)a wheel .another kool vid fellas 🤘
I've watched and tried to lace araya rims I've brought and you are by far the best!! Thank you so much this honestly is the best way and it's really not hard,watched video twice and I'm done!! Subscribing and sharing Ur channel!! Bike shop here in Australia wanted 100 dollars a wheel to do this!! 😮...thx again legend I look forward to seeing what other thing I can learn from rest of your channel 😀 ✌️
Dang I figured y'all was about to show us how to true it up but thanks y'all I learned something off this video 👍👍
remember alf when I ask you about how to lace a wheel, this was the method the bike shop taught me. way easier guys
what I want to see next is how to true a wheel.
I finally have the confidence to lace my own wheel. Thanks Phu!!!🙏🙏
Pho's way, is the way! Finally got my wheels done right. Thank's bro
Thanks for the info at it again love it. Keep it going strong
Phu alfredo awesome
Thank you so much for this I am currently in the middle of restoring a 2003 haro master m7 and it came with 48 spoke rims I couldn't find a decent video to lace them nor a lacing pattern online but this little 1 and 6 technique worked perfectly I'll never lace rims the same again
Questions:
1: does this apply to 36H wheels?
2: what would you suggest for lacing a hub that has a dishing offset?
3: what would you got lacing up a hub motor?
‘Hip, Hip!’..we didn’t need to see that!! 😂😂
😵💫😵💫😵💫
PREACH, I love what you fellas have been doing for the community, both there and here on the East Coast too
Best tech video yet!!! I assume the method is the same for 48hole/4X, only instead of 1 and 6 it's 1 and 8? Finally laced up a set of rims I've had sitting around for a couple years. Thanks so much to you and Phu for putting this up. It's a much easier than the traditional way. Must just be the way my brain works. Haha.
Im in for the live streams too! Lets go
Thanks for this video!! Your channel is very educational and entertaining. Keep them coming. ....next video....trueing
Means a lot Reggie! If you go into our videos you can find various truing videos we’ve made
Great video! Just what I needed. Like me, I bet a bunch of dudes just realized they can do this at home.
Phu, I'm always sticking up for you but, "SHORT BUS"?? lmfao that was Phucked up.
Big facts!!
This just made things SO much easier.....thanks for posting man!
thanks for sharing. I've always been scared to lace wheels... not sure why but I figured they would be out of balance if I did them.
I am so glad I found these videos
Thank you for teaching me how to do this type of stuff
‘You were a little more short bus!’ 9:56. That one got a laugh out of me!!
Hahaha the burn was good, the facts were not so 😂
Haha great video, love the nine club reference too😂
Phus way is actually really good because it's adding that even tension all around so when you get to the other side it's setting you up for even tension on both sides and centers the hub with the spokes and the pattern is good too I've laced 6 wheels before I messed up only one wheel before but this was using the slower method of dropping the spoke straight down skipping one slot adding one skipping one and repeating the process for the opposite side
yo this is a really sick and helpful video. any way you guys can discuss how to size spokes for any hub and rim combo?
Happy Friday!
It’s Thursday here haha
You guys have helped me build up my bike and helped me decide when I need to go to a shop before I fuck shit up appreciate the knowledge. Revitalized my passion for BMX and just fucking with bikes. I needed this channel because there are no bike shops here that sell BMX bikes and if you want one you order it or buy used so with used there’s always some shit fucked up with it. Either way still have to build a bike, I would have just said fuck it and had two bikes that don’t have the rite parts put together like a special Ed transformer sitting in my kitchen. keep this shit up you guys deserve way more views
Lightning Bolt is really popular in Japan. I bought my boy a couple the last time I went.
Building and trueing wheels is just therapeutic for me.
Agreed!!
Gonna try Lacing up a rim today!! Let’s go baby
Shout out Big Phu and Alf for the lessons
Let’s get it 🫡
How'd it go?
@@NuteIlaTaco the wheel is still going hard today bro!!
@@PropagndaX that's cool!
if you dont know how to lace learn it the normal way. guessing spoke holes is just about the worst thing you can do if you have never done it. driver side and non driver side hub holes are offset by half the distance between holes, so that you must use the exact opposite hole that is off by half the distance to get the desired result. eyeballing it is for veterans only. park tool guys have a really good video on lacing a 3 cross the traditional way and its very easy to understand also.
This was a good tutorial, I would like to see a second to finish the process. Thanks.
Great video. I am going to build my 1st set. I am doing Box rim with GT Superlace for my 87 GT Performer. Any idea what spoke length I may need? Please and Thank you!
You gotta do a trueing video. You literally make it look so easy good teacher. Thanks dawg subscribed and liked. Building my 2009 dj
Check out Tech Thursday playlist, we have lots of “wheel trueing” videos
9:52 - Phu burnt you so bad my dude HAHAHAHAHA "you.... you were a little more... short bus"
He wish he got me, I knew how to lace before Phu
@@AlfredoMancuso HAHAHAHA!
We are back Skateboard Chris....!!
The 9 Club.
9 club w Jamie foy is sick dudes a sav
Live Phu would be great.
Phu made it look so easy thanks OG💯🔥🔥
We all have different ways to get the same result. I usually do inbound drive side, inbound non drive, then finish with the out bound drive and then out bound non drive. This way my hub label is also visible threw the valve hole and the hub is clocked. Everyone does it differently, it’s cool to see the different methods that create the same outcome
Mr. phu you might include how to lace G sport rollcage or ribcage because of the hole of that rim goes on different way unlike the regular rim.
True!
Please do, I have a vsxl primo also cross spoked
we're back at the nine club everybody
Views and reviews you can't refuse...sing you song brotha!
Very informative video. Just in time. I needed this 👍
how do yu decide on which spoke goes under the other when crossing? Does it remain consistent? is there a real reason to figure offset or will it just center itself and that is good?
the first one goes on top, the second on bottom.
@@cyberlingbot3d896 so, whichever you chose 1 or 6, then follow that sequence? Thanks!
I dig the Lightning Bolt t shirt! That's O.G. as fuck!
This video not only helped me save a few 💵.. but it helped me make some too.. I did not wanna charge cuz it was something I leant for free .. but they insisted.. oh well.. atleast it payed for the the monster i was sipping on
METAL MACRAME MASTER! 🤘👍👍🤘
🤛🏼💯
You mentioned in the video a trick you use to make a 14 mm bolt fit in 3/8 dropouts. Does this involve putting a washer around the 14 mm part of the bolt so it's flush? (Using those madera/profile hex bolts for female hubs)
What about the old GT Super or Race laced wheels, mine and every set I seen were all spokes the same direction out of the hubs.
For everyone asking about How To True:

This video is a bike saver
I like Alfredo’s “oh no” when Phu is humping the air! Classic.
Sick! It really works than the traditional way. #TeamPhuWorkzzz
Thanks for the clear explanation. Time to go and build a wheel!
Awesome vid, helped me out a lot. I have a question, can I use a 26 inch hub and put it in a 20” rim? Obviously with shorter spokes
Hubs aren't rim specific other then spoke count. If it's 36 spoke hub it can be used with any 36 spoke rim. However if you're trying to use an mtb hub on bmx double check the spacing as well.
@@bmxriderforlife1234 thanks!
@@AviaryAviles159 no worries if you need any help just ask.
This video is what I use every time I build cruiser wheels my only complaint is be good if we got a close up as it is being built and from a over the shoulder view 😅
love to hear it! haha
the 12inch kink bmx (red ) where ethan is working on... i purchased one for my little me
Interesting process that you are using but my way that I do it is way better and more efficient I do the interlace both sides first and then the outer lace that way I don't got to work and then Spokes and it sets me up for the valve stem to be perfect where it should be but thanks for this video it's cool
I want to see th '87!
Also watch for my how to build a wheel video. Have a different technique.
Very informative thanks Phu 🤘🏻
good day!may i just ask how to measure the spoke length for rim? thank you.
I would like the live seminar
How do you know what size spoke length to use for say 20 inch wheels?
That wheel build is 184mm spokes 3 cross
Primo.i learnt alot ,thanks from rotorua,nz
Would this work for rear hubs that need diff size spokes lengths?
Yes! You just need to cross one side more than the other. 3 cross one 4 cross the other
I'd love a how-to on truing a wheel without removing it from a bike, and not having a stand for maintenance. I have an old rear wheel that needs a bit of TLC, and I'd like to do it myself
We’ve actually done a few versions of truing. Check the “Tech Thursday” playlist
@@AlfredoMancuso I'll have to do that! thanks man!
What about a flangeless hub like the N4FL? Trying to lace one right now and can’t find any videos
The second step on the non drive side we don't need to skip the holes right ?
Great video, time for me to practice lacing some wheels 😀
erd, spoke length etc...it's a rear wheel so small side big side(hub) how do I know what spokes to buy???
I've tried a few times before, first time it had coaster brakes and I couldn't get the spokes out because I didn't realize how the driver came off, second time I got half way through and realized I messed up the count and couldn't figure out you have to bend the spokes
