I have bent the **** out of my wal-mart mongoose rim . I have now put a aluminum quick release and remounted the sproket to this wheel. ive gone thru 2 back tires with about 800miles on my grubee 48cc. Where can i get a better wheel here in phoenix az? also when should i clean my mufffler and should i do any prevenetive maint. like clean carb and grease bearings thx Chill Will

Look to your right and click on Spooky Tooth in the ads column. They are in Arizona. Then click on cool parts. Brvnkaerv

im in a similar situation as the op, after a while my rear wheel is starting to bend, still rideable but not for long.

does anyone have experience with these wheels: Spooky Tooth Cycles - Motorized Bicycles: Gas Powered and Electric Bikes - 12 Gauge Rear Wheel w/ 44T Sprocket

will i be able to install this on a regular mountain bike? i don't like the coaster brake system and i still want to use the regular 7-speed gearing? what other compatibility issues might i have?

ps: does spooky tooth ship to canada, because otherwise my inquiries are useless

It will not work w/ mtb. Buy a mtb disc hub wheel and buy one of the many available sprocket adapters. King's sells'em, I sell'em etc.

I'm about to post this rear hub in the swap section. It's Santa Cruz Scooter Works new rear hub. Grade 8 rear axle, oversized high speed sealed bearings and it comes with a 16 tooth rear Shimano freewheel cog. Best part it supports having a rear disc brake. It will come standard on the SCSW Full suspension bike.
