| [title] Lace your wheel | |
| - | [* black] Insert wisdom here. |
| + | [* black] If you can find the manual for your hub online, there is typically a recommended lacing pattern given a specific size rim. |
| + | [* black] For my hub, the recommended lacing pattern was 2 cross. (basically just means the spokes cross two times) |
| + | [* black] I didn't know anything about lacing but this [link|https://youtu.be/X5gs00ttvdg|park tool video|new_window=true] is extremely helpful. In the video they do a 3 cross pattern so I also cross referenced [link|https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J3lsjJp18rs|this video|new_window=true] to check what modifications I needed to make for a 2 cross. |
| + | [* black] Dont skip the lubrication step! I tried to skip it at first and my spokes started creaking when I went to true my wheel. I went to a bike shop and the mechanic recommended getting linseed oil from a hardware store for lubrication. |
| + | [* black] Instead of a nipple driver, I used a small screw driver and my spoke wrench. I think it worked fine. I also used the zip tie method for truing the wheel instead of a truing stand |
