Building a rear wheel for a single speed with coaster brake. I'm big at 250 lbs and intend to trail ride with the bike I'm building this wheel for. I found the rim second hand, a double wall alloy in new condition, and the hub is a new Shimano CB-e110. Question is what spoke gauge and lacing...

Using the specs in the attached, I fabricated and welded the mounting bracket to the Cranbrook fork

I originally built this as a motorized bike and that was the tensioner I made for the motor driven chain. When I recently went back to pedal bike configuration I installed the 26 x 3 inch tires, and the only way the rear clears is all the way back in the drop outs so I repurposed the chain...

My Cranbrook
