ok thanks for the correction.

4.75mm off-set to the center of the hub is to cater for the freewheel? And it should be the same number for any bike?

Or shall I place the motor to the bike and measure distance to bike center before ordering spokes?

14g might be a bit thin for a BPM motor. I've mostly used 13g - sometimes 12g. The problem is that you can't find them on Ebay. You have to get them from a spoke maker and then they become expensive.

BMSBattery have 12g in 184mm, but you have to order something else to get the shipping cost down. 40 spokes = $8 plus postage.
