ok, so ive decided that im not gonna just live with the thump of my wheel that i smashed on a pothole, so the question now is what to replace it with. i could either contact the manufacturer and get an exact replacement, or find another higher quality rim. it would have to be the same size, though, i dont want to mess around with trying to figure out new spoke sizes etc. any suggestions on rims to look at and how to measure to make sure it fits? i just need to measure from the top of the rim to the bottom where the holes for the spokes are and make sure thats the same, right?
also, when i was putting this together, i ordered a 203 rotor to put on the rear wheel in place of the 160 that came with the bike. i figured the back could use the extra stopping power because of the heavy motor etc. when i went to put it on though, i realized that the chainstay is too close to the rotor, and theres no room for a larger rotor. so i was thinking about putting it on the front wheel instead since i alrady have it. dunno if i really need it, though, braking seems pretty good as is. im also a bit concerned about having too much braking power int he front and flipping if i stop too short. how concerned about that should i be? should i put the larger rotor inthe front or just stick with what ive got?
thanks.
