**GONE**

Free Stylyx Bicycle frame with chainguard, forks, gooseneck, handlebars & seatpost. Sizes for 26" wheels. Pick up only in Riverside CA.

I laced the wheels for my HB using Felt rims/14g spokes, and no issues with nipples pulling through the holes. Holmes Hobbies is the only place I'm aware of for custom length 12g spokes, but only in bare stainless or black.

You can't eliminate the clicks, but you can noticeably quiet them down by adding some more grease to the pawls (this is why some are noisier than others). Use the recommended Nexus white grease, or something similar, which is kind of creamy and buttery. Using a grease that's too thick, and/or...

Before committing to try installing 80mm rims on your RF, read the following thread where the OP attempted to put 80's on his Ghostrider. http://electrabikeforums.websitetoolbox.com/post/fitment-of-robsson-wide-rims-6876784

While upgrading the hubs on my stock Hellbilly, I figured I'd "jazz up" the wheels, a bit. Got a hold of some cool looking painted gold Felt 50mm hoops (Thanks Nick!). I decided to lace them with a standard 3 cross, and experiment with using black spokes on the right, and gold spokes on the...

There's already a couple of existing trike threads, here. I would post links for ya, but I'm currently to lazy to search :)

Just as Migs stated, those offset cogs will not work with a Nexus 7, due to the "shifting mechanism" (Cassette joint) being in the way, and it's not something you could just "add washers" to. As far as a "dishing" the wheel, a better explanation would be to offset the rim towards the left...

Very cool, indeed! Never even considered this possibility. A 72 spoke setup, which would accept a 6L-6T pattern, but instead you reduced it to 5L-5T, and utilized the empty holes for some "hootch". This is totally ingenious!!

Yeah..... you would have to use a small chainring. Also, I don't have any experience with that particular SA 8 speed hub, but I did try out an SA 5 speed drum hub, and I didn't like the way it wouldn't shift under a load nearly as well as either a 3 or 7 speed nexus. Almost had to stop...

True, but from what I've seen, most sellers don't advertise levers as "short pull" or "long pull", but use the terms "V brake" or "canti" (etc), instead, so it helps to understand the difference. If you do an Ebay search for using the terms "short pull" or "long pull" brake levers, hardly...

Hmmm.... My LBS stocks 24x3 tubes, so I just walk in and get one.

This is the way I do mine. I flip the trike upside down, so the handlebars rest on the ground (for stability). I then stack some properly sized stuff under the rear housing, to hold the wheel at just the right height, which allows me to slide my truing stand into a usable position.

First off, from what I've read, a "spiral" is different than a "radial". The below pic is what people seem to call a spiral: Now....... 99.99% of people will tell you to absolutely not do a radial on the rear, especially if the braking force is at the hub. I've read a few comments where...
