  • In this episode of Handcrafted, we follow bespoke wheel builder Frédéric Barreau as he constructs a 72-spoke wire wheel for a Jaguar Allard. Because this is a racecar, Frédéric must use very strong materials and the expert precision he has acquired from working in the industry for over 11 years.

    I really am enjoying the Handcrafted series. I'm glad to see something that is bespoke finally being spoked

    As a bicycle wheel builder, this is very involved and impressive. I assumed incorrectly that their was some standardization. Modern bicycle wheels have standard spoke numbers. This is very cool, and greatly underappreciated. Thank you.

      Wait they don't have a standardized manufacturing process? I kind of assumed they would have

    Thank you so much Top Gear ! Your Handcrafted series is absolutely wonderful, and as an engineering student with a passion for pre-war cars and bikes, it gives me lots of ideas for internships, and maybe for a future job.
    Keep up the great work!

    Impressive. I imagined centering the wheel being the difficult part, but at the same time the hub need to accomodate for .5 mm wooble...I guess experience is everything here.

    I estimate that I've built one hundred bicycle wheels and six hundred motorcycle wheels. I've always dreamt of building a set of car wheels. Well done Sir!

    I'm glad that the wheels on my pre war Riley had been rebuilt before I bought it, that might have been why the then owner sold it, to pay for them and that was 50 year ago.

    You guys are really ruining your TH-cam channel.
    .
    I don't really mind this building type (still not great) but the "Detailing a xyz for 40 hours" and all that other crap, Game shows etc... No.
    .
    It's honestly the type of thing that makes people unsubscribe, we don't want our feeds filled with random garbage.
