Sorry,did the title say "Easily Calculate"?

I been building bikes since i was a kid and ill be explaining this way shorter in a vid in a couple days. This is the correct way in detail but i understand people just wanna get the job done now.

This is a start, but it would be more helpful if it included info about how to compensate for the hub size and spoke angle.

Spokes are no joke 🚲✨

I was doubting my ERD measurement until I found some 292 mm spokes. With the J bends interlaced and the spokes at the slots of the nipples the fit was perfect! Published is ERD of 582 to 583. There could be some variation between lots. I've seen Continentals fit slack on a rim bead as well, and these are tighter than some. Good news is that my 290mm spokes should fit only 1-2 mm long. A couple of washers should erase some of that. Perhaps the Sapim Polyaxis nipples even more so when I get them. Doing cross 4 because I'm a heavy rider on a fixie 36. spokes.

This is a good example of how a large consulting company works to solve a business problem in a company. Only difference is that this guy is not charging anything for watching the video, thankfully.

nah this is still way too confusing, imma just see if anyone local is selling a whole built wheel

Well done. Thanks.

My front wheel should have a left spoke length of 284.5mm, I ordered 284 should I have gotten 285?. Spokes on the right should be 285.5, do I get 284 or 286? My rears left should be 284.5 I ordered 284mm Should I have gone 285? And the right should be 282.9 do I get 282 or 283? Thanks

What size sapim d light spoke do you recommend for a dt 350 hub and AR56 carbon wheel?

So how do you calculate it??

Good info

Hi there. I know this an old video. But I want to ask something. Maybe it's a dumb question, Although I think I know the answer. Her it comes I'm going to build from 2 tubular carbon wheelset (50mm)to 2 clincher wheelset.(700c) I'm gonna use the same hubs. The frames I'm going to buy are exactly the ones from Light Bicycles. But I want to build a 38mm front and a 50mm rear. Will the spokes for the front be short or can I use them ? I believe maybe they will fit or not.. ? Thanks in advance

What about hub size?

Hi, I want to use dt swiss r500 rim with dt swiss 350 hubs (12x142, 15x100), and after dt swiss calculations I should use 290mm, 291mm for the front wheel and 289mm, 290 mm for the rear, can I use 291 mm for all of them? And one more question, If I'm using the hubs with a center lock and adding 6 bolts adapter to them, should I use in calculator DBCL(center lock) or DBIS(6 bolts) hubs? MB someone in chat can help me, its my first wheel build :)

So, use on online spoke calculator. Thanks😳

Any spoke size will fit a 20mm rim

1:14 "bottom barrel underneath the thread" - what does it mean?

Easily?

This s*** seems so complicated! Trying to lace my first Fat Tire electric Hub motor. I could be way off but im thinking a2+b2=c2 is all you need. We'll see how it goes.

Good Video Question i am building 28 hole rear hub for 29er mtb should i go with 2 Cross or 2 Cross for 28 hole rear hub build ? Novatech hub with Sun Ringle Duroc 35 Rim - 29er

What happens if you thread your spoke past the widest part of sapiim sqare nipple .. flush with the top of the sqaure nipple ..... will this have problems?

I thought it was Johnny Depp holding a bicycle rim

Turn up the sound

Is he a Robot or its me?!🙄

its quite easy to calculate but why not cut the thread longer and cut off the surplus, its not a motorcycle wheel

Doesn’t help at all

wow... people in the comments should not build their own wheel

You need some coffee bro.

Cant hear.him
