Considering the location it wasn't a quality unit, and if it was it was guaranteed to be stolen and likely charged improperly

I was in the left turn lane on the Raptor with the baby trailer on 88th in Surrey, omw to pick up my son from preschool. Judged the speed of the oncoming car, had plenty of room, made my left. Apparently the person I turned in front of and the person immediately behind me were too busy watching...

I need a career change. How does one break in to that field? I have considered it as I think I would be a good fit. I can drive anything... well anything anyone's been willing to let me drive anyway. Long background in construction. Fork, scissor, boom, and first aid certified already, lol.

Ordered a cheapo. We shall see. Thanks again!!! :thumb:

Find a stream or river and rig up a paddle wheel on a shaft, pulley on the end, belt to your motor. Or electrify one of those floating paddlewheel trikes. That could be fun. I build these things to pedal less, not more. :lol:

Sweet, thank you so much! I got a delivery today but apparently the seller neglected to notice that I ordered two rims and only shipped one. Minor inconvenience but it won't stop me from getting this rear wheel sorted at least. Black was out of stock everywhere but damn the gold looks good...

Sorry for not revisiting this thread long enough to be able to reply. It's been a hellatious few weeks. Thanks very much for the contact info for the spoke seller. I have two rims enroute and am really looking forward to getting confirmation of the ERD. Once that's nailed down I'll order the...

Well this is most fortunate! I'm going to order the rim now and will be following along intently. The wheel building process is new to me so this will absolutely help improve my confidence in being able to source the correct items and get them in front of me. Once the erd has been nailed...

It appears I'm in for some fun. Guess I'll plan to keep on walking to work for the foreseeable future. This sounds like it's going to take me a while.

Looking to replace a failed rim on my 1500w leaf and am considering this option. https://www.ridersdiscount.com/pro-wheel-rear-rim-for-play-bike-160x16-aluminum-black-for-yamaha-tt-r125l-963103 Both are 36 hole but idk my arse from my elbow here so figured I'd double check before I commit to...

Ouch.

Think it's time for me to hit up the Pro Wheels website. May the god of mathematics be with me. :pancake:

That's unfortunate. I kind of wanted to give an mxus 3k a try as a kind of intermediary between the leaf 1.5k and the qs205, both of which I already have. I've already got one wheel build I'm going to have to contend with though, so might as well focus on that for now.

Honestly I'm not sure. This is on the rear of my Giant Revive, so suspended, and has been pulling commuter duty. I don't recall hitting anything out of the ordinary and the road surface between here and work is fairly smooth. It spends 12+ hours per night out in the elements and we've recently...
