Description: Please check the chapters below for specific tips. This is the follow up to my previous video where I went in-depth on how to lace a wheel. youtu.be/EEv9IqMvUnQ Today I'm going to take you through the steps on how to lube, add tension, tru, pre-stress and finish a wheel. These are my tips I've picked up over the last ten years of building wheels professionally in a shop, for a popular bike brands full bikes and for riders such as Duncan Shaw and Danny MacAskill. My current wheel are over 2 years old and I've not had a spoke come lose or the need to tru them despite the abuse I give them as a Trials rider and MTBer. I'm not saying this is how you HAVE to build wheels, it's just how I like to do them. If you do it a different way then that's great, just be respectful that there is other ways. 0:00 - 1:46 Intro 1:46 - 7:12 Tools I use 7:12 - 8:39 Lubing the threads 8:39 - 10:21 Making the spokes equal 10:21 -12:50 Adding tension 12:50 - 16:47 Truing the wheel side-to-side 16:47 - 17:43 Dishing the wheel 17:43 - 20:21 Truing the wheel vertically (removing the egg) 20:21 - 23:53 Pre-stressing the wheel 23:53 - 25:33 Manipulating the spoke angles 25:33 - 26:47 Adding final tension 26:47 - 28:38 Second Truing 28:38 - 30:28 Second Stressing 30:28 - 32:29 Checking spokes for equal tension 32:29 - 33:22 Outro I hope these two video have been helpful, please let me know if so, I'd also love a tag on Instagram showing the wheel you built!
