I could probably have just swapped this with the existing hub... but, nope, I wanted a cross 4 pattern, not cross 3. So I kept guesstimating the spoke length and laced it twice with spokes that were way way long and then way long. Finally I grabbed a wheel that had an empty Shimano 3 speed and heavy gage spokes in cross 4 pattern. Pulled the spokes, cleaned them up and at last - the correct length. That's a Sturmey Archer 3 spd coaster brake in alloy rims and the tires I recently picked up with the Rollfast chassis. I am not 100% sure but these wheels may go in an Iverson 10 speed frame - front wheel will bolt in but the rear will require widening and I feel I may want to lengthen the rear stays noticeably. I suppose it will be a laid back rider for mostly flat trails.
