Where to get a 36 hole 16" wheel

The lecky parts account for approx 6kg weight, thats about half the actual weight of the bike itself.

Keeping the ehub, so I can switch back again.

Problem is axle is 10 x 200mm, I'll need to do some fabrication, standard axles are much less

Aha! I look forward to hearing how the project goes, good luck.

I laced my Suzhou Bafang (8-Fun) motor in this rim, the Sun-Ringle quality is great. I also built a Tongxin wheel based on the version of the CR18 rim without the brass eyelets: I should have done it the other way around, as the eyelets actually got in the way of tensioning the spokes straight when using short spokes (larger diameter motor hub). But for most applications, the brass eyelets add strength to the build. Regards, Daniel

Just an update on the folder with the normal 16" wheel in situ

Hey looks good how do you find it riding wise.

Thanks, it rides very well,

48t front and 28-14 teeth on the rear, can pedal comfortably at 12mph

I put straight bars on, the previous ones were a bit 'girly'.......... The new bars makes it very stable at speed downhill

Just under 14kg, it's no featherweight!!
