Cross 3 Wheel Lacing

This video is about Cross 3 Bicycle Wheel Lacing

For those who are curious, this method worked perfectly for building a 28-hole wheel. The instructions are absolutely perfect. It made it a much easier process than I expected. Follow the instructions exactly and the valve stem will have perfect, 2 parallel spoke clearance when complete. Excellent video.

After watching a ton of these wheel lacing videos, this one clicked for me and got my wheel built! Thanks for posting!

Thank you for this video Chris! You explained it very clearly and i was able to follow along and lace a wheel without much difficulty. Great job!!!

Replaced my three speed hub. Your video made the lacing process for a novice a success! Thanks for the great video. My bike is like new again.

After 5 attempts, I came upon this video. Thank you for the easy to follow video good sir.

I have ordered all the necessary hardware to build a wheel, which I have never attempted before. This has got to be the best, and most simplistic to understand, video tutorial on building a wheel, hands down. Chris is the best teacher I have ever seen, and I've watched dozens of videos on the subject, from Park Tool videos to dozens of others. I seem to get very confused with all the others when it comes to lacing the rim. The others always seemed more complicated for some reason, but that's just me. I understand Chris' approach with no complicated issues whatsoever. He's a great tutor. Great job Chris. I wish I could take a picture of the wheel I'm building just to show you what a good teacher you are. Thanx brother...

Thanks a tonne. I got my first wheel in life laced successfully using your video. It was like attaining Nirvana when it finally happened. I had to undo the lacing some 7/8 times and start from zero all over again before getting everything right. The key thing to know is - turn the nipples just one or two turns initially. You mention it but I didn't realise it was so critically important. Of course I was working with spokes that were a tad smaller than the officially calculated size. Many thanks. Once one successfully laces a wheel one realises what a complicated piece of engineering this apparently simple looking wheel is. Now is the next step of dishing and truing it. I used a 32 hole hub/rim. But had no problem following your video.

Thank you for showing me how to do this yet again! This has to be the best instructional video on YouTube!

[Swanstanley]

Fantastic tuition, very happy with the result, thank you Chris !

[judasone]

Thanks this is the best video on YouTube for building wheels in my opinion.

[johnzook]

Very nicely done. I had just laced my first wheel and struggled through the second round of spokes on each side. I took the wheel all back apart and followed your method. Worked much better. Good instruction.

One of the best resources on the net for lacing a rim. Thank you.

Доброго вечора. Дякую за дуже інформативне відео. Лайк та підписка! Слава Україні! Ми з України!

Best video for lacing. I watched a few and this was the most clear. You made it easy for my first wheel!

[cucubits]

Thank you! This is one of the very few videos which is actually easy to follow, makes sense and explained clearly!

[lkazanov]

Stumbled across this in my research for a Touring build. One word, superb. Nicely done. Torn between Salsa Marrakesh and Surly LHT. The Salsa can swallow a larger tire in the 700c size. Glad I found your channel.

[jamespartington]

Excellent video - very clear and precise instructions.

[CoolAirVw]

laced up my first wheel today. Thanks for giving me the confidence that I can do it.

I have built wheels previously working at a bike shop, this method was like a light bulb moment. It's so much easier then other ways I have been shown and exactly what he said, prevents scratches to rims.

This is the best video on bike building and quite possibly the best video ever on YouTube in general
