Guide on how to lace an MTB hub to 18" motorcycle rim - 8kW Enduro MSVA eBike V3 Build - Part 11

Here is an in-depth guide on how exactly I laced a dual disc brake MTB hub to my 18" motorcycle wheels. After a solid week of trying to get it right, I finally got there so feel it would be good to share my learning curve as I found a lot of the information out there quite confusing. Hope this is helpful if you are looking do do a similar thing! This video was already getting long enough, so a brief overview of truing it will be in the next one.
