You can decrease those stress cycles by keeping all the spokes tight. That's why bolts in critical (cyclical) positions should always be torqued to their maximum.

I've used this same method for dirtbike rims.

My front wheel has done over 13k km now, still going strong 😄

[davidburgess]

Done this before. The real fun starts when you rebuild a wheel that was cross 2 as cross 3 with longer spokes. It's so easy to get the key spokes wrong at the valve hole!

OMG you must be psychic. I just damaged a rim last week and now you have given me the confidence to do this!

[mustafa_rasooli]

I did not know this. Thanks for your video

[singletona]

Yet another very useful tutorial, thanks.

[kurtbargar]

Love goes out to this guy, , , he even has park tool scissors 😂😂 keep up the good work

[billkallas]

Matching the ERD is the most important thing. I once crunched a Mavic Cosmos, and replaced the rim with a tubular rim with the same ERD.

Lucy you had a rim that fit. I got a good deal on a new wheel from the work shop. :)

[mattgies]

0:25 you can see the wheel is wobbling on the WH-2. Why are the parts for this tool not long enough for a 197 mm fatbike hub? I've been thinking of custom machining a longer part but I wish the tool had just come with a long enough piece in the first place.

👌I always enjoy watching your videos, if you can do it yourself its great, a lot of bike stores won't have time, and you end up buying new wheels👍

I'm still curiously looking forward to more of looking inside my tire with sealant videos

[wasifzihan]

i was thinking of a rim change, thanks for the tips
