    Default Lacing the spokes of a bicycle wheel using 4X pattern

    My son visited my workshop and laced a bicycle front wheel.
    He is using the 4-cross pattern this time.
    The spokes are beefier than normal since I have a lot of weight on me.
    There is also going to be a special roller brake in order to be able to stop my mass safely.
    My intention is to loose some of my weight by bicycle excercise.

    The video is here

    Default How to install a Shimano Nexus roller brake to Nishiki 722 cross hybrid bike

    My bike has the conventional front brake that will eventually grind the front wheel rim dangerously thin.
    To avoid this I change the entire front wheel to one that can accommodate a roller brake.
    Roller brake is very durable and has closed construction which keeps water and dust out of the operating surfaces.
    I want to keep the tires so I will take off the tires and reuse them on the new wheel.

    Here is the actual video
