Features & Capabilities

An App for bicycle wheel builders. Explore lacing patterns in 3D, from radial to four-cross. For several numbers of spokes, front and rear wheels, rim and disc brakes.

Select your wheel from the information pane. Add and remove groups of spokes with the "forward" and "back" arrows. Move the wheel about its center with a swipe gesture, zoom and pan with pinch and two-finger swipe gestures. Double-tap to reset to the default view.

User Reviews

Rad 3D shines with clear visuals and beginner-friendly guidance that helps users learn and verify wheel lacing. However, multiple reviews note gaps in advanced pattern support (especially 28h/32h 2x) and a backlog of requested features (spoke tension/length calculators, 16/20 spokes, hub types, asymmetrical rims, 48h). These represent the most recurring themes: strong visual aid with notable feature gaps for broader compatibility.

Pros

Clear, excellent visuals that make wheel lacing easy to understand and follow.
Very beginner-friendly and acts as a reliable go-to tool for learning or repeating builds.
Good at showing progress and guiding users through the steps, helping prevent mistakes.

Cons

Lacks support for certain lacing patterns, notably 28-hole 2x rear wheels and 32h wheels.
2x cross lacing is limited to 24-spoke rims, with 32h (and other counts) not currently supported.
Many advanced features and options are requested but not yet implemented (spoke tension/length calculators, 16/20 spokes support, hub type choices, asymmetrical rim coverage, 48h).

Could be decent but won’t let you do 2x on 28 or 32 hole wheels

I love this app and have had and used it for years. I would personally like to see some of the unusual things I’ve done before 2x drive side radial non on rear rim brake Mtb, snowflake, and suggested spoke tensions and a spoke length calculator
