Being a motard, I wanna be able to slow the wheel quickly with a little bit of brake and engine braking. Heavy wheel makes that harder.

Mmmkay. Fucked that up. Luckily I've got lots of these wheels.

36 spokes, so I foolishly did the maths for 37 gaps between the spokes. Don't need to do that when it goes round in a circle. Caught that before I drilled any holes. But when I redid the calculations, I entered the circumference wrong in the calculator, and didn't recheck before I started drilling. Took quite some time to figure the spoke pattern out before realising the wrong number of spoke holes.

W.t.f, I understand the topic & I know the dude, but you have totally got me fucked as to what the end game is here. It's like trying to understand a Down's syndrome kid with a mouthful of ice cream.

You're a lying cunt, since you sent the rim.

Cheers heaps bro.

So I've just gotta sort out what size spokes I need, assemble, and get someone to punt the thing along.

Young guy I work with won a B grade race on a normal bucket without using the front brake. Reckon I'll give him a whirl first.

Winning a race by having the opposition laughing so hard might still work in this situation
