- Building a Front Wheel out of a New Hub, Polished Rim and Polished Stainless Steel Spokes, For The Harley Davidson "Big Flathead Project Bike."
Mike, you are the Bob Ross of the motorcycle craft. I adore your calm demeanor, honesty, and certainly appreciate your sharing of your knowledge that you've acquired over the years. Love your channel, Brother!
Wow, thanks!
@@pacificmike9501 Absolutely!!! :)
Hey Mike I like my tools looking crude shows and tells a story of many jobs gone by. Started collecting tools from back in the days working on my first pedal bike now I have tools for working on old Ford trucks, Harley's my Freightliner and many other things with engines and wheels around the house. My son who is 20 is always asking me what certain tools are used for in the garage he gets a smile on his face listening to my stories of how I acquired them and what specific use they have.
Thank you. Those things are great to hear about..
My brother always did this for me, now he lives in Washington State, I'll have to do it myself. Thanks for showing this and going slow so slow minds as me can understand it.
Thank You. This is fun. Why be in a hurry. Time only matters when money is involved.
Thanks for sharing Mike! Have a great day
Thanks, you too!
Awsome mike. And please don’t change what you say. We love you just the way you are!
How nice. Thank You.
Don't change your presenting style,your natural manner is great.You explain in a way the average guy can understand and take away the fear of doing our own work.
Thank You. We try.
I have laced and true many wheels (back in the day)....it's never fun. I worked in Azusa Ca. three blocks from Buchanan's Wheel. I would drop off the wheels on a Tuesday and pick them up all finished on Thursday......It saved my soul.. Nice job Mike, another good video.
Thank You.
Thanks Mike....!
I put it in my saved list. The group of "10" was a first, and a good reference never heard of that one and I've got to get to my storage I've got a rim down there that I can tear apart and put back together again for practice!
Getting ready to go watch your truing video.. some really helpful hints thank you Mike ...! Looking forward to more of your build ..Stay safe man... I'm sure you'll hear from me again as I follow along...
Izzy..
Thank You. Take care and I'll look forward to it.
That's weird Mike, when I laced mine there seem to be a bunch of profanity with it!! Nice job brother!
Thank You.
Nicely done Mike, brings back some cool memories lacing my own rims when I was younger... Quite meditative ☮️
Good job Mike
Thank you.
it was like watching an episode of sesame street for motorbikes 1,2,3,4... at least if i didn’t learn how to lace i learnt to count , thanks mike great videos
Thank You. Now, can I have a cookie?
nice work mike going to be a fine Harley. thanks for the lesson
Thank you.
Thank you Mr. Mike. Now I know how to do one of these. And it all makes sense the way it goes. Very cool stuff. Always wondered about the different angles at the rim. Now I know why. Always great stuff you do. That bike is gonna kick ass man.
Thank You.
@@pacificmike9501 You are welcome.
Thanks again Mike for another educational video ,and weirdly following you at the same pace I'm building a cone shovel chopper and I'm now going to go with a 21" front and lace it myself ,sell on the 19" I just brought. Onwards and upwards, everyday above ground is a good day.. Thanks again CC
Sounds great! Yes, it is.
Thanks. I love spokes , your project is 1 sweet scooter
Thank you. It should be pretty cool. We'll see.
Nicely done Sir!
Thank you.
There ya have it 👍. Another great video. .🖖
Awesome thank you!
Oddly relaxing watching a guy build a beautiful laced wheel. Thanks for sharing the knowledge, I would definitely try and tackle it myself after watching this
Go for it! Next video, tomorrow, on truing. Thank you for the kind words.
If I had to lace a wheel...I'd do it different.....drive to Mike's house and drink coffee while I watched him lace it up!
You funny, but much appreciated.
It’s like watching Bob Ross...and that’s a good thing...
That's a wonderful thing to say. Thank You.
Bob Ross and Mr. Rogers Soo polite sir.
Loved good old Bob. I got a poster of him on the wall over head of my bed. My daughter gave me. No shit
The biggest bane of my life was trying to true my rear 19" alloy on my panhead!! never again. Pay somebody else to do it! Great rims, I have one on my knuck!
And, I'm sure you do something that is completely over my head. No harm, no foul.
Arduous and tedious goes the lacing of the wheel! We gotta get you a nice donor to send you a wheel truing stand and a dial guage. That's how I learned and it saves a ton of time. Very nice to see a lesson in this very obscure necessity for bikes. I was super glad you did a video. Its so important to maintaining a safe and comfortable ride experience.
The rest of it is explained in the next video.
My brother all I can say is most people riding now do NOT HAVE A CLUE 😂,to what goes on behind the scene,just get on my bike and ride ,no worries lol,I came up learning the ins and outs because that's all we had ,do it yourself, Learn from your mistakes,go forward or fix it again,man your a breath of fresh air brother,
Ride hard,Ride safe Be well
Thank you. Yah, it's all we had, and that was a lot. We had determination, and the romance of being able to do whatever we needed. I ran into one of my best friends I grew up with, just this afternoon. When I think of the stuff we built for basically no money, yah, we get to be us. Thank You.
Great work it takes patience and dedication not o to mention skill keep on keepin on brother hope to see you on the road soon!!
Thank You. I'll look forward to it.
Great video Mike thank you feel confident now to replace spokes on my streetbob take care👍🇬🇧
Thank you. Watch the next video. It should help you.
Mr Mike as always it was a pleasure watching you work. I have learned alot. Never laced a wheel but really want to do it now.
Thank You. Next video is on "truing."
"There it is" is cool. Didn't even notice it till you mentioned it.
Thank You.
Always love watching your videos back and you bet we're all on the same page just different places hope your family staying safe and well like always keep them videos coming buddy if your videos was only thing on CZcams that would be fine with me catch you later brother
Thank You. Take care. We truly are all on the same page. As soon as it's okay, Let the Party Begin.
miguel hernaqndez
I really think I can do this now - I love the way you take your time - You make learning fun.
Great instructions - Mike!!!
Thank You. That's the point. Take it slow.
Mike, I have to say that I know something about a lot of things, but I don't know everything about anything. You seem to know everything about Harleys. I am truly envious. Another great video.
Nice compliment. I've been learning for a long time. Still growing, long way to go.
I remember doing this a dozen times with my pedal bike as a kid 🤗
Cool. You must be a "natural."
mike besides being tutorial and enlightening, you make this look therapeutic great video thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Hello Mike ,You make it look SSSOOOOOO Simple I enjoy all Your Videos!!! Great work!!!
Thank You
Very informative.
You have more patience than Job...
Comes with age.
@@pacificmike9501 Preaching to the choir. Will be 60 in a couple months.
We all wanna watch u put 40 spokes in place. Not like we have anywhere to go. Thanks for the time and vids.
Thank You.
Love the look of the raised Center rim thanks Mike
Thank You.
Hello Mike, a great Video. Spoke the Wheel is so exactly explained. Cool.
Thank you. Check the next video.
Love watching you work!
Thank you!
A lost art..... thanks again for yet another great video!
Thank You. But, now everyone knows, so it isn't lost any more.
@@pacificmike9501 LOL.....true......ya got me there.
I have always been intrigued by how to lace a wheel, you made it seem doable. Nice job Mike.
Thank you.
Been wondering what to do with some wheels off an old sportster I'm fixing up. I live on Shetland where it's very salty. I didn't think I could lace them onto stainless rims my self, watching your excellent vid has given me the confidence to try and fix up my own wheels.
As a retired trainer my self I have to say you are a first class educator Mike. Keep well old man. And ride safe.
Thank You. You too.
Thanks for this series on lacing wheels. This is one thing that I've been wanting to do for a while. You just gave me the confidence Mike 🤙.
Glad to help!
@@pacificmike9501 you wouldn't happen to know where I can find colored spokes and nipples? Seems like all I'm finding is stainless, chrome, or black.
I just googled, "Colored Motorcycle Spokes." There was lots of info. Give it try. I've never bought or used any.
Hi Mike, yes in europe we say clockwise or anti-clockwise. Even if you follow the book I must say excellent job. I'm admirative.
Cool, thanks I like that word. ad mir a tive, backatcha.
I did enjoy watching and enjoy all your stuff i like watching someone who does good work and takes pride in what they do keep on bro and you got some very fine bikes first class thanks for sharing what you do God bless you Mike
Thank You. And, I appreciate you too.
Hi Mike, I used to think that lacing a wheel was some kind of a black art. Well, not any more! Your instruction shows how simple it really is. The only thing that is critical is: paying attention as you go, and being in the moment. And your use of the term "there you have it" is right on; please use it whenever it is called for. Great stuff!
Thank You. Glad you're enjoying it.
Really dig this video, some people make lacing a wheel look like some type of rocket science. I've never done one from scratch...yet. I have re-trued a slightly messed up wheel. Great video, and as always be well.
Glad you enjoyed it! Take care.
And when you screw it up you have to do it all over again. Been there done that! I would never lace a wheel, can't lace my shoes! LOL Great lesson...teach
You're more than welcome.
Awesome and well explained video as always!
Thank You.
Great video, it feels like a day in the shop. very informative on the hub as well, thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it
The Bob Ross of Harleys!! Love this channel
Thank you.
Starting my spokes on my 04 Dyna. Thanks for showing me how!
Glad to help
Very nice! I really enjoy watching your videos Mike 👍
Glad you like them!
Hey Mike and Mike! I know I'm late to the party here but this video inspired me to take a crack at lacing the wheels on my 84 shovel fxwg project. OEM hubs and rims 21" front, 16" rear powder coated satin black finish with polished stainless spokes. Took a couple tries but got em laced up! Still need truing but I'm getting there. Had to say thanks for all you guys do man.
Thanx for watching. I hope this helps you.
I absolutely want to watch you put 40 spikes in, Mike! It’s so calming for me! Keep the shine side up, brother!
Thank You. You too.
Mike....all I have to do is look at a container of Never Seize and it is all over my hands and clothes.😆
I'll see if we can order it in a flavored version.
Great video mike.
Thank you. We'll true it next.
Another great video, thanks for sharing. I laced and trued my first wheel over this christmas, 19" rim with 80 spokes for my chopper. Tricky but a lot of fun, can't wait to get my hands on another wheel to lace. Looking forward for the next video on truing. Thanks for the work you are putting in to create these videos.
Thank You.
Great video Mike. Like you said the key to lacing a wheel is patience. When I was younger I would have been throwing things and getting frustrated while lacing a wheel. Now that I am older and wiser I take my time doing things. After watching your video I am going to replace my front rusted out spokes on my 21 inch wheel. Thanks again brother,ride safe.
Thank You.
Hey Mike,
I do mine. I bought a wheel stand, new rim and new SS spokes from JP cycles. I used my Original hubs off my vintage Harley with new bearings. I shoot for the stock vintage style.
Great video.
Thank You. It's one of those things that I enjoy building, and I enjoy using.
hello mike , another awesome video tutorial on spoke wheel looks easy . thanks
Thank You.
Great video, Mike, you make it look easy. I too like the look of spoked wheels, but I've never thought about attempting the hassle of lacing/truing.
You can. Just practice.
Painless wheel building...clear and precise instrucitons, great video, well done Mike.
Thank You.
very nice easy to follow and informative You make it look easy can't wait for the next vid
Thank You.
All on the same side of the grass... I’ve never heard that one... I’m going to have to remember that one!
We have a lot to remember, lets all hang out and do that.
I watched this whole thing. Best viewing I have had in weeks. I will never lace a wheel, but this was the best thing I have streamed in a while. You are a fabulous instructor.
Thank You.
Thanks Mike you just solved another mystery for me. I am glad you mentioned anti-seize on stainless steal very important 👍
Yep. Thank You.
Awesome! You took some of the mystery out of lacing a wheel. Thank You, good job!
Glad it was helpful!
Hi Mike, just wanted to offer a big thank you for your videos. You are a class act and surely deliver the goods. Peace and health for the new year!
Thank You. And, Happy Holidays to you and yours.
Very informative. Thank you, About the fourth spoke in I'd have anti-seize silver fingers/ rags/ spokes/ rims and probably my shirt.
Thank You. Oh, you would not.
Thanks Mike, been wanting to redo my wheels now I have my road map!
Cool. Enjoy it.
I can tell you that when I was in my teens working at a bicycle shop, if I did not lace a thousand bicycle wheels, I did not lace a one. I still have my memory for making it happen. And truing a rim is just second nature. Nice work fella, it brings back memories. VF
Wow. You gotta be good at it.
@@pacificmike9501 Mike, you know that when you do something for so long you can do things in your sleep. Just like sleep walking. Just goes to show our age !! Good day and peace too.
Thank you Mike, I had been thinking about the possibility of lacing a 16" rim to my hub, currently with a 15" rim, so that I can fit the kind of tire that I want. Your instruction brought that a little closer to reality.
Cool. We'll have a video on truing it next (like, tomorrow).
another great video, Thanks for sharing your knowledge
Thank You.
Mike: nobody wants to see me put 40 spokes in this rim.
Me: uhh,I do..
Okay!
Me too!
I’m watching a master at work. You made this look so easy. Thank you for sharing Mike. Stay safe👊
Thank you. Do the same.
Fantastic! I absolutely loved this video. I never had any idea that lacing a rim could be so simple! I have itty on a manual, just never had the need to really dive into it. Coming along great, Mike! Can't wait for the truing up!
This was, in my opinion, the perfect tutorial. I tip my hat to you, sir!
Glad it was helpful! Thank You.
I love the music stand for the manual! Watching you do these things is like watching a maestro playing a fine instrument.
I can lace and true a wheel, but all breakable items in the shop must be covered and no children allowed within 500 feet of the shop unless they have ear plugs in.
Cool.
Watching you from Changchun China.
Greetings!
I found that "that being said" has become my catch phrase. I suppose that's your influence, Mike. Great video. Always wanted to learn to lace the wheels.
That being said, makes me feel good.
Great to see you Mike!!
Thank You.
You make it look so simple.
I try.
Dont change being you for anyone my brother, i love watching your clips , almost as much as my shovelheads , stay safe my brother and hope to see you out on the road someday, joe from Illinois
Thank You. I look forward to it.
nice job lacing up the rim !!! looks good !!!! i did my first one last year it take four or five time but i got it done !!! there was a lot of profanity and scratching my head !!! lol !! but it felt good to get it done !!! thanks for sharing !!!
Thanks 👍
Yes sir! They are cool. I love the look of the spoke wheels. I have always been amazed by the lacing process but after seeing you do it I think I may be able to do it myself. I always have done my own engine and transmission work but never, wheels. I am glad you are well and thank you for your time and effort. Have a great weekend sir.
Thank You. You too.
Now I can lace a wheel. I also now want an alloy front wheel.
Thanks Mike
Be careful. Not sure I'm a good example. But alloy rims are cool.
Great job !! By the way, dont get hung on "" there it is "" . Your commentating is the best ! So...on a ending note, There We Have It......another great video !! I"m actually gonna start using that phase. I like it.
Thank you.
Thanks for another great vid Mike! Even though I don't plan on using this information ever, your voice and demeanor is a calming necessity in these weird times. Thank you for being you!
Thank You.
Love your videos sir and your personality. I am in the process of replacing a bent front rim on my Harley Dyna. I am using the stock hub and reusing the spokes and nipples. However my spokes have 2 different types. The outer spokes have a shorter 90° bend and the lowers have a longer 90° bend. This is my first wheel bebuild so I have to figure out whether to start with the uppers or the lowers. I guess I will figure it out when I start the assembly tomorrow. I have learned a lot watching your videos so I'm hoping for the best. Thanks again for your help sir. See ya on the road !
Section 2 of your service manual explains it perfectly. Try Tedd Cycle (V-Twin) for the proper HD Service manual.
Favorite CZcams channel.
Thank You.
THANK YOU...for sharing. Very nice Mike. Let us know where that nibble went to when it shows up. :)
Thank you. It was under my chair.
I love your videos! Very educational.
Thank You.
@@pacificmike9501 You're welcome, I need to rebuild my 54 panhead. And I'm glad you're thorough.
Thank you Mike it was my birthday today and was like a birthday present to watch your video and yes we say anti clockwise also we have islands that you call rotary along the roads I prefer the American ways because I am a American at heart always will be regards Alan from the UK
Happy Birthday Alan ! I've been reading these comments left by Mikes subscribers, and something in yours caught my attention. What do you mean by "" we have ( islands ) that you call ( rotary ) "". Would you mind explaining ?
Happy birthday! Alan. The differences are always interesting. I mention the few I know about, because they make me think. In these times, I think people are finally realizing, we're all people, and all are special.
@@davemetz7368 Traffic islands we call them and in America you call them Rotary but I don't think you have many in the USA hope this makes sense regards Alan
@@alanmcclusky Thanks for responding. Yes I live in USA and we have traffic islands, but I have never heard them called "rotary". For whatever that means.
@@davemetz7368 I have a sat nav and I use the American version and that calls it rotary which seems straightforward as rotary means a circular motion.
It is great to watch this process. Thank you very much for sharing it, Mike! I really think it's s amazing that you can build every single part of your own motorcycle, including those beautiful wheels!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks for the Vid! I love lacing, truing and everything else to do with spoked wheels! You need to have the "feel" which makes it more of an art. Ps I also run the Timken Starhubs. Thanks. Al (England)
Thank you. I think a "feel" just comes from practice. Art? Well, that's in the eye of the beholder. The guy doin' it? He just wants that great "thing."
I just wanted to say Sir that watching you work on a motorcycle is the equivalent to watching a master painter paint.
Your passion is obvious, and your dedication to doing everything to the best of your ability is a joy to watch.
You understand how important precision is when working on a motorcycle, there is much less room for error as say compared to a car.
I wish you nothing but the best, and look forward to your videos.
Thank you.
Wow, thank you!
lacing wheels ..an art of its own
Certainly fun.
Gdaya ; Mike, Great video mate, Audio Excelent; helped a lot, I'm ready to have ago at lacing my front wheel after watching you do it, Great Job, Well done;; Bullett, Cairns, Far North Queensland, Australia ;)
Great to hear!
Amazing sir you make it lok easy i learned alot thank you!
Glad to hear that
Don't worry about saying " there it is''. I guarantee that some of the things I say when working on my bikes would probably get me band from CZcams. LOL
Always enjoy your videos .
Thank You.
Hey Mike your wisdom is priceless in the development of our next generation of Chopper builder.
I totally dig the way you choose to share knowledge and hands on experience.
There! it is.
Thanks 👍
