In this video, I show you how I Twist lace BMX Wheels. I Twist lace many Many different ways and this is by far the easiest and the strongest. I may be still slightly weaker and a normal three cross pattern but its very strong and looks unique.
I will refer to my 3-cross lacing video often in this video. that Video is here-
Lacing BMX Wheels 3-Cross- • Building BMX Wheels A ...
For final truing or straightening of your wheels, that video is here

My other twist lacing video is here- • How To Twist Lace BMX ...
If you need spoke wrenches, you can find them here- amzn.to/44a0V67
Its also a great lacing technique if you don't get a lot of shop time and have to walk away from it now and again.
If you have questions or requests for future videos, comment below or message me at rob@basementbikeshop.com.

My mission is to keep more bicycle riders in the sport.
Whether you can't afford to take it to a shop,
you don't have a way to transport it to the shop,
you don't have time to take it in for repairs,
or you just want to learn to fix, repair, and upgrade your own bike,
I will help to keep your bike running smooth and you riding longer.

Do on the side of the cog/free wheel that you’re gonna be using, you wanna twist counter clockwise and for the non drive side, clockwise? Or do you wanna twist as if you’re putting bar tape on your drops, clockwise on the right and counter clockwise on the right

Sorry I confused myself a bit, so you wanna use the spoke that sits on top or bottom to twist first and what direction to twist left or right and this way that you twist will done be on both side?

I think as long as you match sides it will perform great. I thought about it long enough to confuse myself to. I’ve done it both ways, rode it, and felt no difference. The wheel becomes very stiff after you leave and tighten it. I don’t think it makes that much of a difference. I hope that helps. Rob

I have a double wall rim I put my mission covert hub and spokes into because I damaged my shadow rim, and now the spokes are too long I'm going to give this a try and see if this shortens the spokes just enough for me to ride lots of help

Yes. This is probably the strongest, most durable Twist lacing method I do which is why I started with it. I will soon be getting into some other twist lacing patterns that are less durable and more for show.

@@thebasementbikeshop2336 this was a great video, very clear and well explained. Do you tension these up like a normal 3x lacing pattern, as in take the reading from the centre of the spokes where they would now be crossing? I very much look forward to future lacing videos from yourself and thanks in advance for your reply 😊🙏🏻

There are many types of lacings and twist lacings I have seen. Some of them are more for show and don't have the strength for everyday riding. I definitely want to do more lacing pattern videos (its what most of my video suggestions are) and I will get to that in the near future. Thanks for watching

you need to add washers for the nipples. there is a type of nipple made to lower the risk of rim damage, most bicycle shops should already know of them

Ok. After reading up a little on nipple washers, it seems like something only people with carbon rims would need or need to worry about.
