John Kovachi’s passion for cycling started in the mid 1970′s when he started competing in BMX events. Eventually this passion led him to a national championship. Simultaneously John started working in a local bike store where he met a master wheel building craftsman; that’s where his love of wheel building first started. Kovachi wheels are built to each customer’s unique specification after learning that customer’s needs, riding demands, and product preference. Kovachi Wheels takes the time to do all the things no machine can and no factory will do. Learn more at www.kovachiwheels.com

Before you start the process of building a set of bicycle wheels I find that it’s important to gather together all the parts and tools that you will need. There is nothing worse than having your workflow interrupted by having to look for a particular tool. People often talk about the state of mind when building wheels and my students have encountered it during lessons. Your mind will become quiet and focused on the job. It’s a bit like a meditative state and any disruption can cause your mood to flip the opposite way. Here’s what you’ll need PARTS Hubs Rims Spokes of the correct number and length Nipples Rim tape x 2 TOOLS Lube oil such as chain oil Nipple driver or small screwdriver Spoke key or nipple wrench (two terms for the same tool) Wheel truing stand Spoke tensiometer Dishing tool Spanner or allen key depending on the hub type Kitchen paper to wipe up oil spills or smears Jam jar lid or similar to act as a tray for nipples Tiny lid to act as saucer for nipple oil dip This video is the first in a series of 13 on lacing followed by another short series on truing. I would suggest you watch all the videos first before you get started in order to get an overview. I’m based in London, UK if you want me to build the wheels for you or give you a lesson.

This is a how-to video showing a method to release and reset a V-brake on the front wheel of a mountain bike, or any other bike with a V-type front brake.
