thebiketube.com thebiketube.com This is part 1 of a three part series that will cover lacing and truing a wheel. There is nothing like crafting something with your bare hands, especially if that something is a bike wheel. There is something inherently rewarding and zen like about wheel building so we here at thebiketube.com decided to bring the world a wheel building instructional video, enjoy! The wheel being built consists of a 36 hole hub and 36 hole rim, more info at http Part 2 will be posted shortly.

@nmdbase not quite…..
just google ‘700c to inches’ and you’ll find it’s slightly off
Thats very responsible wearing safety glasses while playing guitar. A string could break and poke you in the eye. I myself wear a full face guard.
it is long winded if you do it first time but if you get it right it can be quite gratifying
thanks, i needed this for work,
NIPPLES!!!!!!
700c is 28″
@KicKFliP503 yea i checked the bike shop prices, no thanks, ive got a truing stand dishing wheel and every other tool you could possibly need at my disposal through my college
@snowyphil65 if its not trued just have the bike shop do it.
lol “find that length out” why not just say “determine the length”
New to English?
@thebiketube yea i think im gonna try it out, ive got the hubs plannin on getting rhyno lite xl rims but still goin back and forth on the spokes, great vids and exellent job on the wheel, thanks alot
@snowyphil65 You can’t really mess anything up by building your own wheel. The first one just might not turn out absolutely perfect, maybe slightly out of true or something, but you can always fix that. If you have the time I would definitely give it a shot!
@thebiketube should i just have a bikeshop build a pair or should i just do it myself, im very mechanically inclined but i dont want to fubar anything
easier too go buy the wheel you need and slip it on
he said nipples
@donniedarko88888 Yes, as long as spoke count is the same.
does it matter if its a rare or front wheel (is the procces the same)? ty
@SuperTunaface Yes, absolutely. 700c is just slightly smaller than 27″, they will fit fine, you need to adjust the brake pads a bit, but you’re not using any so no problem!
@thebiketube yup, another question, yeaah, if there’s this bike, and it used to use 27 inch wheels, and i don,t want any brakes, can I fit 700c wheels on them?
@SuperTunaface Yes, as long as the number of holes on the hub match the holes on the rime and you get the right length spokes you are good to go.
hey, can i fit basically any hub on any wheel? you see, because I have a 27 inch rim and finding those are getting rather hard now. so, can I buy a hub and build a wheel out of it?
@unfocusedsf LOL ur right man !
i will
@pieterklaaskrugmann damnit pieter, you have to watch the whole series
lol lot of talk but no build LOOOOL
hey, what about the spoke lenght? can you help me? your website doen’t work. can you send me a link or sg? thx
alright thatnx so much this is gonna help me alot
