I'm curious to find out

Cool

Good point. A lot of online forums were crushed by the change.

Measure the OD of the steerer tube, like others said, but take several measurements from different spots along the circumference. I suspect that they may be ovalized, like you'd said...

I got no clue about reinforcing the tank, but as far as klunkin' wheels go, what I usually do is I just build what I want BUT if I want cheap, ready-built wheels, I usually see if @ind-chuckz has anything for sale... Take-offs from Worksman or Schwinn Heavy Duti industrial bikes, with 12g or 11g...

Nice!

How wide is the ´35´s BB shell?

Put me in for a XXL :113:

Pretty sure XXL is the official shirt size for RRB lol.... pretty big for a bunch of cyclists, right? I´m tempted to get an XL and just keep riding til it fits.

Detailed close-up pics, or it didn´t happen :crazy::crazy::crazy:

I´ve seen those specs on the 3G wheelsets, and a big part of the reason that I never ordered any is b/c the OLD specs seem off. Singlespeed coaster hubs tend to be 110mm; some (eg, new-production Sturmey-Archer S1C) are 116mm but normal KT HiStops (like the ones from the 3G wheels) are 110. No...

Man, just STOP it.... such a hott ride.

For a while, they used Grimeca moped drums. Not sure if that´s still the case. I´m sure you got it sorted by now, James, but this is why I´ve been messing with the Sturmey-Archer drums. Easy parts availability and all the tech info is on the website. But those Worksman drums just look cool...

Looks good; nice mash-up...

What is the Newport spaced at?

Yep. Sheldon let us know right there on that page:

Follow these steps: 1-Use a 2x4 or small car jack to spread the dropouts wide enough to accommodate the Nexus 7. Go a few mm further out than you have to, b/c the metal will spring back. 2-Tie a string around the DS dropout, loop it around the headtube, and bring it back to the NDS dropout...

The 5/16¨ axles with 5/16¨ hardware will work fine on hubs that use the same bearings, but it´s hard to say if a new hub will have those bearings. Obviously, if the new wheel is an unsealed Wheelmaster set, it´s a safe bet. Otherwise, there´s a chance it won´t work. OTOH, if you remove the...
