How Do I Build A Rim?

[Jan Tore]

Hello guys.

I recently broke my front hub, and a new one is on it's way to me, together with some spokes.

Question is then, how do I build it?

Any guide around?

Yeah, theres a guide in the wiki.

Just make sure that the offset spoke holes in the rim go to the relative side on the hub, and also, you need to make sure the spokes DON'T cross at the valve hole.

It's fairly easy to do.

Good luck

Yeh that is definitely the best tutorial on how to build wheels. Really detailed but still not too hard to understand.

To build a rim you need metal and a fancy machine.

Think you mean wheel.
