10. Pros and Cons

Step 1: Applying spoke prep to the spokes

• Ensuring proper preparation for a sturdy wheel build
• The importance of using DT stainless steel 2.0 spokes
• Applying spoke prep to prevent loosening over time

Step 2: Inserting the first set of spokes into the hub

• The significance of alternating spoke holes
• Creating an evenly spaced layout
• Installing the drive-side spokes as trailing spokes

Step 3: Lacing the wheel

• The critical role of the first spoke
• Ensuring proper positioning relative to the valve stem
• Lacing the spokes around the rim in a specific pattern

Step 4: Tensioning the spokes

• Starting at the valve hole for easy tracking
• Incrementally tightening the spokes with quarter-turns
• Highlighting the smooth tensioning process with DT spokes

Step 5: Vertical tensioning

• Taking measures to eliminate slack in the spokes
• Gently bending spoke elbows for optimal tension
• Performing this step on both sides of the wheel

Step 6: Rim strip and tubeless tape

• Adding a rim strip for safety and spoke protection
• Utilizing tubeless tape for possible tubeless setup
• Ensuring a clean and secure rim strip installation

Step 7: Final tensioning and wheel truing

• Checking spoke tension to guarantee equal tension throughout
• Fine-tuning the wheel for trueness and roundness
• Verifying spoke tension for a reliable and durable wheel

Conclusion

• Recap of the wheel build process
• Emphasizing the importance of attention to detail
• Ensuring a high-quality and reliable wheel build
