Great Video. Do you have experience with Disc Brakes in stead of Calipers? Is the assembly of the wheel with a Disc Brake System more difficult or less, or the same? Thank you for this post.

Thanks! I'm buying a bicycle for my sister for Christmas, the one she wants needs to be assembled. I was really worried about it, because I've never put a bike together. This was a TON of help! Thanks!

@RPRannoch First and foremost, thank you very much for your comments and feedback. I am extremely gratified to know that this video assisted you in your bike assembly endeavors. It is always good to know that I was able to help my brethren in this industry. Please do not feel stupid for not having purchased a Tri-Wrench. This is how we all learn new things, I learned in the same manner years ago. Yes, I have more tips for you. Please contact me anytime.

I'm a professional assembler paid by the bike, so my speed is crucial. Your technique for the right pedal just saved me a lot of frustration(I used to spin a wrench until it was flush with the crank and then tighten it with the pedal wrench). I'm definitely switching to your method now.
I also feel kind of stupid for not using a 3-way hex wrench like yours considering I've had the chance to before and thought better of it. I'm ordering one ASAP.
Do you have any other tips to speed up assembly?

What an amazing teacher!! I just ordered a bike and he just saved me about $40+ for assembly. If you buy an unassembled bike, you MUST watch this terrific video.
