Thank you much, Sir. You show some excellent ideas. Fabricating better than reasonaly priced tools (& parts) instead of spending far more than justifiable has long been used by family. Please continue the fun.
Just wanted to say thanks, completed my first mountain bike wheel today and saved a ton doing it myself and using my old hub and spokes again. the hardest part was the trueing and tensioning!
Well done.. I have been wrenching on bicycles for nearly 40 years, built thousands of wheels and your explanation is clear and concise... I am glad that you started with the front and not get caught up in dishing, pulling and pushing spokes and other confusing things for most people... You deserve a pint of stout.. Z
Thank you very much Steven, I‘m at wheel number four - did the very simple ParkTool method until today. Wheel number five is on my bench, so I‘ll change to your (in my opinion) much easier way ❤Greets from Bavaria 🍻
This video gives me confidence on building or should I say making my very first wheel from scratch. Thanks mate for explaining the easiest way of properly making a bicycle wheel.
Clear and precise tutorial without all the small talk. Now I’m going to grab a old bike on the curb side hard rubbish and graphics an old bike so I can practice. Thanks heaps.
What just happened? Within 14 minutes you have removed all the stress, uncertainty and black magic on how to lace a wheel. No guide on wheel building has ever been presented to me, in a more simple and useful way where I feel I could do this. I salute you. Thankyou
Ok - I got some biscuits 😂 and finally tried it - I’m proud to say I’ve just completed my first wheel !! I replaced a rusty old 3 speed sturmey archer 3 speed hub with a nice shiny new one !! Thanks for the clear and easy to follow instructions . I’ve been wanting to do this for ages but haven’t been game and now it’s done . Thank you 👍
Thanks mate, this video really helped me out, I'd swapped rims before by using cable ties to hold the spokes together where they overlap to keep the spoke pattern intact while I swapped the rim, but I didn't know how to lace a wheel up from scratch, thank you for the straightforward and thorough explanation and showing of how to do it, top work 👍🏻👍🏻
You know in life when you come across a great Mentor...Oz Cycle is that Mentor! Well Done! Thank you for producing your videos! I am off to tackle my first wheel build. I am sure I will find a few more stumbling blocks during the build but, I believe I have enough knowledge to start the wheel build.
One more thing, I have looked at other wheel / lacing vids and do they waffle on? You are clear, well spoken, concise and straight to the point. Just saying.
Just built my first bicycle wheel and I have to thank you for the great tutorial. Super strait forward, fun to watch and very informative. Cheers mate !
Thanks so much for this! I followed this last night and laced up my first ever bike wheel for my MTB. I still have to tension it and true it, but it's quite close as it is.
Thank you for this awesome video, by far the best I’ve seen. For my first wheel I started by replacing a bad hub of a wheel I’d disassembled. What tripped me up is that I didn’t realize that, because it was a rear wheel, that the non-drive side spokes were longer than the drive side.
hey just wanted to say thank you! i laced my first set of wheels and found it surprisingly easy because of this video!! thanks for making it. Tensioning and truing the wheel took a little longer as i just used my bike frame, but in the end i got there! thanks!
Thank you so much! I tried to follow a few others, but things were left out. This is so good. I downloaded to MP4 to for my "must have in case of no internet" vids. :)
This is by far the best instructional video I have seen, regarding lacing bike wheels. Every other instructional video on this topic makes it seem very very difficult and in the end of their videos, they suggest you just take it to a bike shop! (I wouldn't be on here if I planned on taking it to a shop). Thank you for the clear instruction and for making me feel relaxed during this process.....HAHA. "First step, Grab a cub of tea".............
Really cool. i just got my Trek 370 sport bike out of the basement. Can't wait to put good stainless steel spokes on the Rear Rim. and go for a Ride. !!
Great video, if there is an easy way to explain, this is it. I had no idea how to build a wheel, and it really is not that difficult, just hard work. Maybe after the video about the true weel, or with him, could you explain how to fix a broken spoke. I imagine it's just a replacement for a new spoke, but I've seen people fixing the wheel on the side of the road because they had a spare spoke, what kind of tool it would take, just to get home on the bike. I think this could give an interesting video too! And about the Bianchi, beautiful bike! A review of a bike like this would be cool! Congratulations Steven, the channel is always getting better!
I just used this on a 32h Mulefut 80 fat bike with a DT 350 hub and it worked exactly the same as the 32, much thanks! onto the hard part now (so they tell me)
As usual you make it so straightforward and I really appreciated it.. The only thing you didn't mention was spoke length. This is what puts me off the most. Depending on hub, rim and lacing pattern, they may be different. I know that's perhaps for another video as this one is about lacing.
@@stevenleffanue While I've got you. One person commented about using anti-seize on the spoke threads, to keep the brass from corroding to the steel spokes. Do you recommend using anti-seize??
Yes,if the anti-seize product dries non-slip,otherwise the spokes will rattle loose. Loctite is good but requires heating if you need to adjust at any future time.
"Relax".., dude i saw the price on a pair of new cxp 14 mavic's and my jaw droppet!. (just the rims) But i want this o'l gal back on the road with the original rims so it's worth the money (100 Euros), but realizing that i had to build them from scratch was definitely a bit intimidating.
Excellent video - thank you so much for this 😊 Could anyone help me with what the follow video on tensioning and trueing is titled? I haven't been able to find it. Thanks!
Unfortunately it may be 3-4months away as I have a backlog of vids that are due. If unsure,just go slowly with small amounts of tension. When it looks straight tension the whole wheel 1 turn again. Keep doing that until its got good tension and is straight.
Hey Stephen, great channel. When is the next follow up for the wheel building? Tensioning and truing the wheel. Another idea, a DIY steer tube race removal tool like the Park tool. Keep up the great work.
Yes,tensioning and truing wheel is on the list to do 😁. More and more forks have pre-race seats for sealed bearings these days so no need for tools. However the ordinary steel bikes still use them so I will put that down on list of ideas. Thanx
Thanks oz you make it look easy but it seems logical, I have a stormy archer hub to fit, I just need to work out how long the spokes need to be. David GB.

By far the easiest guide I ever came across for wheel building. Thanks good sir.
I agreed
Best explained and most clearly demonstrated spoke tutorial on the Internet. Thank you

Yeh, explaining how to build wheels can be confusing hey? Mmm..stouts nice after a hard ride with the boys 😁

Glad the vid has helped you James. Happy wheelbuilding :)
So systematically and well explained. I thought I would never understand it, but I do believe I have, after seeing your video.
The best tutorial out there to build a 36 spoke wheel with the 3 cross method.
I mastered the science of wheel building, but thanks for the refresher course.

Getting ready to do my 1956 Schwinn, new 3 speed Sturmey Archer hub, 26" wheel.
Fantastic video and instructions! I just laced up my first wheel thanks to you!
Every time I rebuild a wheel I come back to this vid. Hands down the best walkthrough online.
Thanks for sharing this. gave me a good understanding of how wheels are built. going to tackle my first wheel building project soon...
Thank you so much for this, just finished my first wheel. Easy to follow instructions allowed me to get it right the first time.

Great video! I’ve laced 2 wheels so far. Great explanation! Thank you!
Really enjoyed this video man, great delivery and stuff!!!!
Thank you so much for this video! I think I just found my favourite bicycle mechanic channel
Always a pleasure to watch your videos. Thank you so much for your kind and full of knowledge advises!
Sir, you are a genius teacher. Thanks!
Great! Now I think I can build a wheel, thank for making sense of it all.

Awesome Video! One thing I just never knew... it was like alchemy! nice job Thanks!
Best teaching technique regarding the wheel making process. Thank you sir🙂😀❤️
The most near understanding about lacing among other video ..tq sir
This is the best wheel building video on YT. Thank you.
Great guide for beginners! Thank you for making video!
Is the tensioning and truing video out somewhere? Dont seemed to be able to find it :)
No. Im lazy ...must get around to it soon 👍
It's been a lot of years since I did one, Great refresher. Thanks.
hey just wanted to say thank you! i laced my first set of wheels and found it surprisingly easy because of this video!! thanks for making it. Tensioning and truing the wheel took a little longer as i just used my bike frame, but in the end i got there! thanks!
I watch your videos religiously always good stuff to learn thank you for sharing!
best wheel building instructions. above all the others
I never knew it was so complicated to put together, thanks
Thank you was my first lace and your a great teacher
Very clear video. Just need the same for truing the wheel.
Hopefully do that soon

First video i found on building bicycle wheel and was a very good choice. Thanks for your input
Nice and funny man. Thank you. I understood it all and it helps me when I build mine tmr. Have to go get biscuits first..
Wow, great video. I just managed to lace my first wheel and now need to find the other video. Thank you!
Cheers mate! Very easy to follow instructions and great humour. Hopefully will build my first wheelset soon.
Thanks for the vid, made me far less anxious about building a wheel and made me smile too
Even a child can assembly this by seeing this , Good demonstration bro
Very good explanation. I feel more confident to try it. Is there a part 2 about trueing?
Really cool. i just got my Trek 370 sport bike out of the basement. Can't wait to put good stainless steel spokes on the Rear Rim. and go for a Ride. !!
Wow you the best. I been looking & been trying different videos & wasn’t able to do it till I try your way. Thank you !!! You the best!!!!!
Just built my first wheel today, I wish I saw this video before I did it , great video! One of my best videos on TH-cam!
Great video, if there is an easy way to explain, this is it. I had no idea how to build a wheel, and it really is not that difficult, just hard work.

What a great video. So well done.
Clear as always !
Waiting part II and III !
Really appreciate your help
Today I rebuild my cycle rim 👍👍👍❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️
Lots of Thanks & Love From Pakistan
I just used this on a 32h Mulefut 80 fat bike with a DT 350 hub and it worked exactly the same as the 32, much thanks! onto the hard part now (so they tell me)

Thank you from USA. I really love your videos. I have learned a lot from you, since I recently took up cycling.
Glad you like the vids Jason and thats great you taking up riding 😁 . Come visit Australia at the Tour Down Under one year!?

@@stevenleffanue Thank you for the info. Cheers...
I'm not speak english so well,but....this video is better explicit that my language videos...!
Brilliant video, thank you. Now I'll be able to use that Sturmey archer Dyno gear hub I've got stashed 👍
This is great! I'm putting better rims on existing hubs so the how-to-disassemble was useful too.
Thank you so much for this video, I was able to rebuild the wheels of a 1950 Bianchi Cortina …...
I still have Jobst Brandts wheel building book, it must be from the 90`s or early 2000`s, still a great book to have :)
I type in jobst on eBay they come up pantyhose’s
Very expensive book
scan it
You're funny and informative. Great video
Excellent teacher indeed...
I love your videos, mate, Cheers!
Great video. Watched it twice now
You mad an impossible task a whole lot easier. thank you.
this is classic...im gonna try this and hopefully someday i can build and true my on wheels..
It took me a couple of goes and about 2 hours but I've laced it correctly. Now just need to tension it.
Very well done sir 👍👌, you make such complicated thing simple 😊
Thank you, great video and explanation.
Best video I have ever seen on this.
Thank you so much! I fialed on two other videos. this one made it very easy and success!
"Relax".., dude i saw the price on a pair of new cxp 14 mavic's and my jaw droppet!. (just the rims)
But i want this o'l gal back on the road with the original rims so it's worth the money (100 Euros), but realizing that i had to build them from scratch was definitely a bit intimidating.

Could anyone help me with what the follow video on tensioning and trueing is titled? I haven't been able to find it.
Thanks!
Great vidéo, very helpful, many thanks
Very good teaching I like this video
Thank you very much.🦾
Loved the video, thanks! Have you got around to do the follow up videos too?
Great video, mainly because of structured speech. Lovely presenter
Great video!
Great video, crystal clear instructions. 👍
Great video. Thanks for posting! Subbed 👍🏼👍🏼
Great lesson....thank you
Pretty good....but what about discing it for a rear hub?
I need that truing video ASAP :D in desperate need to true 2 wheels
Unfortunately it may be 3-4months away as I have a backlog of vids that are due. If unsure,just go slowly with small amounts of tension. When it looks straight tension the whole wheel 1 turn again. Keep doing that until its got good tension and is straight.
I was thinking about buying the park tool spoke tensioner. Is this thing anything good ?
oz cycle Great video but still no video on tensioning the spokes? Please upload or remove this video. Thanks
I did it by looking at some old rims that i had laying around. They turned out prefect i just took it to a shop to get them calibrated.
Im on my 7th wheel and its still as hard as the 1st and 2nd an 3rd an 4th an 5th and 6th.
Thank you for the simple truth...
Hey Stephen, great channel. When is the next follow up for the wheel building? Tensioning and truing the wheel. Another idea, a DIY steer tube race removal tool like the Park tool. Keep up the great work.

Ah,yes,Sturmey Archer...3speed or 5? Its been a long time since I spoked one of them up. 36hole?
Excellent Guide. Thank you.
This was very helpful thank you ! Can you please also make a video about trueing a rim you just laced ??????
Will do one day
Now dam it lol 😆 just joking 🤣
Best explanation ever!
I need the next Tensioning and truing a wheel video!!!!
Its on my to do list Vince :)
knowledgeable vedio. thanku sir❤
