God bless you Scotty, and your family!!! Love your videos, you inspire me in every single one!!!! My broken back has had me defeated for years but watching your videos gives me so much hope!!!!! Cant wait to ride my bike again!! Love ya dude!!
Hey Scott, great video. Just wanted to share a tip from my many years of shop experience. If you do the "spoke-head-out" spokes on both flanges first (before starting the "spoke-head-in", or "crossing" spokes), you won't have to bend the non-drive side "spoke-head-out" spokes to get them in. With both sets of "spoke-head-out" spokes installed, there is still enough slack in the wheel to spin the hub in the "forward" direction before starting the "crossing" or "spoke-head-in" spokes. I find it saves a bit of effort and you don't have to bend the spokes nearly as much, especially on smaller wheels. Hope this can help you on your next wheel! I find that working on bikes is therapeutic, especially now that I no longer do it as a job. Would love to see more videos like this. Cheers!
I came to see if anyone else mentioned this. It also let's you get half the spokes in before the hub is clocked which gives a lot more freedom for getting those nipples started.
I had a friend who lived across the street from me who built professional race wheels and he taught me, used all the same equipment. Was very therapeutic to build wheels
This was fascinating! You’ve encouraged me to try something that I’ve never done before and thought I couldn’t do because of my hand coordination. I have a lot of neurological issues and it’s very hard to do fine motor activities of any kind.
My crypto mentor Mr Richard Emerson, you may have come across him on a few interviews I invested $3000 last two weeks and it profited me $11,410 a higher success.
I have been waiting for this video since the first video on the channel. I can honestly say it was well worth the wait. More informative videos are the staple of having fun in BMX. Nothing that bums me out more than not knowing how to fix my bike. Taking the initiative to learn is very important and worth every second.
Reminds me years ago when Albe's put a challenge out to see if anyone could beat their wheel builder in the time it took to build a wheel. Turbo is a heck of a bike tech, and he is freakishly fast at building a wheel. Curious how quick BK builds a wheel, and if he could revive the challenge to beat Turbo's time.
Great video scotty been researching this alot lately getting ready to build by first custom wheel set very soon. Only one thing to add. When you start drop the first spoke into the hub hole that is directly next to the hub logo. This way when the wheel is fully laced you can read the logo by looking thru the valve stem hole. Doesent effect the wheel build but it shows forethought and good execution. Also its wise to prep the spoke threads with spoke compound or in a pinch linseed oil to prevent them from getting loose over time. ✌
You are nearly correct, but you need to start in the hub flange hole [x number of holes] from the logo, where x is the number of crosses. So 3 cross would be the logo hole plus 3 in the direction of hub twist.
Hey I need help so I bent my rim today and I need a new one but all I know is I need a double wall rim but I want the hub and spokes built in already cause I’m not a custom builder and how do I know why size rim I need and all that stuff
This video is absolute gold. I've been riding for 17 years now and I never could figure out how to true my rims. I actually made my own stand with an old set of bars a stem and some forks with some zip ties to see where the rim is at. I just couldn't figure it out and always made my wheels worse.
Wow! Thanks for sharing this! This is simply just the side of riding you don't see if you aren't a rider or if you don't repair or build your own equipment! Really shows you how much there is to learn and teach yourself about! Even with things you might have been using every day and not really paying attention to just how much skill went into it.
amazing video im so glad you were able to build a wheel. my first wheel build was super satisfying. i did it when i was 16, laced up a federal v3 freecoaster hub to some random double wall rim and i still ride it 7 years later.
Back in the mid 90s I won a set of TNT Revolver hubs at the NBL Grands in Louisville and never did figured out how to lace them myself. It's a lot harder than it looks!
Dude that was amazing, you have gained such dexterity back over the years you're doing so damn good! Really enjoy seeing more content on you scott, you still have really well developed skills and knowledge it's incredible to see you in action. Promise us you will show more of your personal goals and pursuits! I would love to see a video on you SHREDDING YOUR PIANO!! thank you for all you do and inspire scott, you are tier legend.
It’s great you finally learnt to do this, I have built some wheels over the years but have been building a lot more since i started started collecting bikes a few years ago, i find if you tighten all the nipples to just cover the thread on the spokes to start, then run around the wheel with the same amount of turns on the nipples until you are ready for the truing part the wheel is already pretty close. i got my first truing stand this week after riding since 1990, i have always just done them on the bike.
It’s a great video! The wheel came out great! I’m still yet to attempt to build my first wheel one day. I can now look back at this video to help me on my journey. Thanks Scott
Someone else mentioned, but yeah you guys made this way harder on yourself than needed. lol. Do spoke heads out on the drive side, then the same on the opposite side, then twist the hub and do the heads in spokes. This makes it so much easier to get those spokes in and do the 3 (or 4) cross. Love your ambition to learn a new skill!
This was the best wheel video I’ve seen in a long while. I still don’t want to build my own wheels tho especially after seeing Scotty’s reactions 🤣. I’ll leave that kind of work to my local bike shop
I build a wheel last week. I prefer to use the technique of putting all the spokes on the hub and then mounting on the rim. The first side is the same as in the video, but on the second side I'm putting the spokes two by two already crossed with their pair. For those who have never done this work, it seems complicated to work with a lot of hanging spokes, but in the end it ends up being easier, because you don't have to bend the spokes.
Hey Scott.. ngl.. it’s been hard for me to watch the riding videos without you jamming in em… happy to hear you talking amazingly and not being out of breath and moving your arms so much better and your back… it’s great man… please make another update or video of you riding, I just love seeing you ona bike man, you’re a real success story an I’ve been here since before you jumped the r35, and when Corey bodied himself doing the flare or whatever it was on that stepped up quarter in the corner of the incline club I believe it was called. Been watching for years man..
Man this takes me back to the 200os when I tried building my first real wheel set. Primo hubs to sun pros. Did not go well for me. This video makes me understand why I failed. Also way before TH-cam. Kids got it good today
I’m so glad i I can see you do this Scotty I’m sorta in the situation you have except my nerve damage is only in my left (dominant ) arm you inspire me to keep riding and I love your content man I hope to meet you one day in person I’ll definitely be giving a wheel build a go after this
Awesome Scotty you made that wheel straight as a dime 👍 Gone are the days of the 48 spoke 4 cross bmx wheels maybe give that a go for the next level experience
Much easier if you put the 9 across the hub from each side first, then you don't have to bend the spoke to get over crosses- that was why Matty was taught to do the spokes from the outside first. And better to take them all equally to the point where the nipple hides the thread on the spoke and then give them all 4 turns then all 3 turns, 2 turns or whatever seems applicable to tension. That way you can avoid 'egging' the wheel. But great tutorial nevertheless.
Well done considering most people who do have feeling in their fingers can struggle with the fiddly stuff Scotty. Very interesting to see how it's done. 😎👍
Awesome work Scott back when I was riding I could strip a hole bike and rebuild it no worries but could never figure out how to build rims maybe if I had this video then I might of saved a bit of money 😅 loved the vid though that rim was straight as an arrow by the end 👌
How do you know what length millimeter spoke to get for a 20” standard BMX wheel? And do the one length work for both sides? Be it for front and/or rear? Thank you! 🅰️🅿️💯
Yes can you do a video of taking a crank apart an hub with sealed bearings or something. I don't wanna mess my bike up I may just get buddy to fix it in a few months
Hey guys. I have been riding since the mid 80's and have built all of my wheels even on my mtb. I have never had to bend a spoke during the build. There is a way to do it. Put all the spokes in first, lay it down flat on a table. Just make sure all the spokes are generally in the right direction as you go.
I always wondered how wheels where laced up. So my first few years riding bmx I learned how to build wheels and eventually wound up with the same method but in three steps inner, outer, cross and never had problem with breaking wheels and keeping straight every single time. Some days I wanted to tear down my wheels just so I can lace them up again for my enjoyment 😅
Yeah the putting on spokes part kinda hurts my brain, but i could definitely get into that fine tuning bit. I tune the heads on my drum kit and people are like "wait you actually tune the drums?" Its dope to see how deep and complicated things can be!
*** Plenty of cool tips in the comments already so I'll just add this tidbit: A "nipple primer" tool makes building SOOOOO much easier. Just a simple tool that holds the nipple to keep you from dropping it into the rim and makes it easier to get it started. Take a long spare random spoke and thread a nipple onto the end well past the threads, so there are a good 3mm of threads showing. Bend the other end 90 degrees so you have something to leverage with. When it comes time to put a nipple in, you thread one onto the exposed threads and it'll hold the nipple in place so you can pilot it into place through the rim hole. Sure, you can spend money on a nipple tool but the rando spoke method is more or less free :-)
When you take the time to true a wheel that well it will stay true forever. I built wheels that I haven't had to touch in years. You can get them way better than a machine built wheel with a bit of patience.
If that’s a Alienation PBR rim for a BSD revolution hub for the drive side you need 186mm spokes non drive side you need 190mm spokes the ERD is 395.0mm 👍🚲💨
I buillt a bmx wheel when i was 14 by just copying the pattern of another wheel. Took forever, and it turned out horrible. Finally at 45, i know why it turned out horrible. Thanks for this video Scott!
Never actually saw how one went together all the way before up til now it was a bit mythical on how one would lace a wheel up you are not just going to grab one and get there for sure
now it's time to step on all the spoke crosses to pre-stress the wheel and true it again ... or at least you should with a new wheel build ... mattys used spoke collection may already have seen plenty of stress
Tubes are not rated for pressure. The tire is the only consideration in this question. If the tire is rated for the pressure you want to run then you are fine.
@@SebP85 tubes dont hold the pressure its the tire that holds pressure. you think 100 psi is a lot check out the tubular road bikes running 175-190 psi lol
I built my first wheel in 11th grade all by just playing with a hub and rim I had and miss matched spokes as well and was probably done wrong but it worked lol

I love the encouragement you two give each other. Great instructional video.
I have been waiting for this video since the first video on the channel. I can honestly say it was well worth the wait. More informative videos are the staple of having fun in BMX. Nothing that bums me out more than not knowing how to fix my bike. Taking the initiative to learn is very important and worth every second.
Very informative, and nice to see Matty teaching Scotty something.
Matty super patient and supportive. Gotta love him.
Reminds me years ago when Albe's put a challenge out to see if anyone could beat their wheel builder in the time it took to build a wheel.

When I've trued mine I did it on the bike with a couple clamps and felt marker's to the frame. Wherever it touches tighten the other side
Wow! Thanks for sharing this! This is simply just the side of riding you don't see if you aren't a rider or if you don't repair or build your own equipment! Really shows you how much there is to learn and teach yourself about! Even with things you might have been using every day and not really paying attention to just how much skill went into it.
ive seen some insane wheel builds..some people know how to really do some crazy builds. Not easy just doing a basic build. Good job Scotty.
Scotty & Matty, don't stop doing what you love. Bc we love it too!
This was really dope too see thanks guys!!
Matty = Awesome 😎
Impressive Scotty! Your patience and determination are inspiring!
Very impressive Scott , especially with your hand situation - thats alot of patience.

Haven't seen a scotty update in a while, how is the Matty training going??
Hey Scott.. ngl.. it’s been hard for me to watch the riding videos without you jamming in em… happy to hear you talking amazingly and not being out of breath and moving your arms so much better and your back… it’s great man… please make another update or video of you riding, I just love seeing you ona bike man, you’re a real success story an I’ve been here since before you jumped the r35, and when Corey bodied himself doing the flare or whatever it was on that stepped up quarter in the corner of the incline club I believe it was called.

This was inspiring to see Scotty!
Well done Scotty coming from someone that works in a bike shop as well got to say well done l would almost say your going to do many more keep it up👍
I actually thought there's no way that'll get true but it was very true. 👍
Man this takes me back to the 200os when I tried building my first real wheel set. Primo hubs to sun pros. Did not go well for me. This video makes me understand why I failed. Also way before TH-cam. Kids got it good today
Yup, get to the end of building a 48 spoke just to figure out you did it wrong.
I figured it out on my own in the 80s. Trial and error and trued with the brake pad. LOL! Never had a problem.
I use a pair of old forks, front brakes and a work shop table vise. Use the brake pads to true and balance. Its primitive but it works.
This is perfect. I’ve had my BSD revolution hub laying around, waiting to be laced.
great job!
awesome video scotty, keep up the hustle and the great work. Much love to the Cranmers
You are an amazing person Scotty and Matt your such a good bother
I’m so glad i I can see you do this Scotty I’m sorta in the situation you have except my nerve damage is only in my left (dominant ) arm you inspire me to keep riding and I love your content man I hope to meet you one day in person I’ll definitely be giving a wheel build a go after this
Awesome Scotty you made that wheel straight as a dime 👍 Gone are the days of the 48 spoke 4 cross bmx wheels maybe give that a go for the next level experience
This was really cool to watch
Nicely done! I've been wondering who builds the custom wheels for the shop?
Much easier if you put the 9 across the hub from each side first, then you don't have to bend the spoke to get over crosses- that was why Matty was taught to do the spokes from the outside first.

That way you can avoid 'egging' the wheel. But great tutorial nevertheless.
Man you’re doing better then me I can’t build a wheel to save my life ..but I’m definitely going to use this and try and build my back wheel soon
Well done considering most people who do have feeling in their fingers can struggle with the fiddly stuff Scotty. Very interesting to see how it's done. 😎👍
As frustrating as it may have been, hopefully projects like this could help you regain some dexterity.
Great video awesome job scotty!!!
This was awesome! thanks scotty and matty, can we get a timed build off between matty and bk?
I know you guys sells bikes but do you do inspections when you get new bikes to make sure that they are ready to ride.
Big man Scott you are the best this your video as help me a lot and am done with my back wheel thank you for doing this video peace.✌🏾✌🏾✌🏾😁😁
When do we get a Wheel build challenge against Brooklyn and Matty?
Awesome work Scott back when I was riding I could strip a hole bike and rebuild it no worries but could never figure out how to build rims maybe if I had this video then I might of saved a bit of money 😅 loved the vid though that rim was straight as an arrow by the end 👌
Scotty, can you guys do a video on setting gears for different Mountain Bikes?
I’ve been riding BMX since 98 and I’ve only built 4 wheels.
I was 100% ready for Scotty to turn the camera around and bk is just standing there with a completed wheel 😂
How do you know what length millimeter spoke to get for a 20” standard BMX wheel? And do the one length work for both sides? Be it for front and/or rear? Thank you! 🅰️🅿️💯
Yes can you do a video of taking a crank apart an hub with sealed bearings or something. I don't wanna mess my bike up I may just get buddy to fix it in a few months
Hey guys. I have been riding since the mid 80's and have built all of my wheels even on my mtb. I have never had to bend a spoke during the build. There is a way to do it. Put all the spokes in first, lay it down flat on a table. Just make sure all the spokes are generally in the right direction as you go.
Great timing 😂 Gonna be getting a whole new rear wheel set soon.
We need a video of Scotty cruising a park.
Bro i feel you, every time i build a wheel i go through the same emotional turmoil. Matty did you dirty with the whole one side spoke thing lol
Would u guys ever do a 1986 gt preformer tour Maui blue build???
85 team Comp Eddie Fiola Pro Performer 😎
Also a Dave Mirra Team GT Dyno Slammer = Best bike Ever !!!! This was before he was Pro and was a Haro guy 😎

I always wondered how wheels where laced up. So my first few years riding bmx I learned how to build wheels and eventually wound up with the same method but in three steps inner, outer, cross and never had problem with breaking wheels and keeping straight every single time. Some days I wanted to tear down my wheels just so I can lace them up again for my enjoyment 😅
competition between BK and Matty wheel building
You guys need to remember to like his videos. It's at 10k videos and only 900 likes. Come on people
Yeah the putting on spokes part kinda hurts my brain, but i could definitely get into that fine tuning bit.
I tune the heads on my drum kit and people are like "wait you actually tune the drums?" Its dope to see how deep and complicated things can be!
I built my first wheel successfully, now just finished building a second wheel with this video but I learned to do it faster
love your vids
*** Plenty of cool tips in the comments already so I'll just add this tidbit: A "nipple primer" tool makes building SOOOOO much easier. Just a simple tool that holds the nipple to keep you from dropping it into the rim and makes it easier to get it started.

I would be more inclined to do this if I had a spoke cutting tool. I think lol. How much for a hub replacement?
Hey Scotty this is something I would like to know your we all know your rims and spokes takes a lot of abuses how do you know when to change them out
When you take the time to true a wheel that well it will stay true forever. I built wheels that I haven't had to touch in years. You can get them way better than a machine built wheel with a bit of patience.
I love ur channel I love all the great things u do ❤️ 👍 ☺️.
Yes scotty my dude
Love the video 👍
Never seen the spoke cutter before!
If that’s a Alienation PBR rim for a BSD revolution hub for the drive side you need 186mm spokes non drive side you need 190mm spokes the ERD is 395.0mm 👍🚲💨
I don’t think I’ll ever build a wheel lol but this was still entertaining to watch
Make a video to where BK and Matty have a rim building contest like who’s the fastest
I buillt a bmx wheel when i was 14 by just copying the pattern of another wheel. Took forever, and it turned out horrible. Finally at 45, i know why it turned out horrible. Thanks for this video Scott!
I have a same flange design hub, and laced them with 186 both side, im surprise no one know the two by two cross lacing technic
Have you guys seen the video where they use rope for spokes? It may make you not worry so much about bending the spokes.
Most likely will never build a whole wheel…yet still watched scotty for 23 minutes show me how to build a wheel xD
Never actually saw how one went together all the way before up til now it was a bit mythical on how one would lace a wheel up you are not just going to grab one and get there for sure
I built my mtb wheels they are dope :) 🤘
That was a wheely great video! 😂
now it's time to step on all the spoke crosses to pre-stress the wheel and true it again ... or at least you should with a new wheel build ... mattys used spoke collection may already have seen plenty of stress
Great job! I’m too scared to try doing my own wheels lol.
How many times you gonna do a wheel tutorial on this Channel
As a cheap skate, I had to learn it to save money when I have to rebuild or build my wheel
I enjoyed that
Do you have to cut them in every case tho?.. Can't you put a spacer between the nipples and the rim?..
Is it really okay to run a BMX tube and tire at 70 PSI?
Only if the tube AND tire are rated for that psi. Do Not run high psi on setups that aren't designed to handle it... you'll just blow them out
These days they sell tubes and tires for bmx that can handle 100psi lol. It's crazy.
Tubes are not rated for pressure. The tire is the only consideration in this question. If the tire is rated for the pressure you want to run then you are fine.
@@SebP85 tubes dont hold the pressure its the tire that holds pressure. you think 100 psi is a lot check out the tubular road bikes running 175-190 psi lol
I beg to differ... I've used cheap tubes that couldn't handle 40psi lol. Just use a quality tube, you'll be fine.
a spoke tension gauge could save a lot of time when getting the spokes to equal tension
Sometimes these 20" wheels don't leave a lot of room to get the gauge on the spoke, but otherwise they are a great tool to have!
I built my first wheel in 11th grade all by just playing with a hub and rim I had and miss matched spokes as well and was probably done wrong but it worked lol
