Ha! This is not such a great video. The guy must have said “I’ll not explain that bit to you because it is fairly straightforward” about a hundred times.
He uses that excuse to watch TV while he builds the wheel (on fastforward) and then at the end of it, he stops and explains everything he just did but missed the opportunity to tell you about when he was actually doing it!
For someone who thinks it is all far too easy to explain to anyone, he is pretty much incapable of doing the work and talking about it all at once.
I know only females can multitask, but he has the hair for it!

Well it is pretty straight forward. People don't want to sit and watch a video that is like a full 45 minutes long with me having to explain every single spoke being laced in, I mean if you know how to put one cross of spokes in , the others are gonna be the same, you'd have to be dumb to only be able to lace like half a wheel. Once you got that far, just perservere. Sorry I watch TV with my girlfriend while I build a wheel, send me to jail. Pretty sure I didn't say it a hundred times.
To be honest my hair isnt even that long sooooo…..
I guess I will wait to see your wheel building tutorial online …………….
And to everyone that isn't an ass and actually thought this helped in some way or even if it didn't and you didn't bitch about cause it really don't matter, I'm just trying to help people in some way cause I know a lot of people find lacing a wheel pretty daunting and this video is basically to show that it isn't hard and if I can do it then you can to.

good, alot better than others Ive seen. To put all the spokes in first makes the most sense and simplyfies the whole process. Pity my spokes were too short when I tried to lace my wheel!
