Greetings fellow Motorbicyclists,
I wanted to share a recent experience. I installed a custom sprocket adapter from Manic Mechanic. It looked great and worked well for a few miles, then I discovered that it tore off a few spokes, essentially ruining the rear wheel.
I had to replace the rear wheel using that of another bike and going back to the stock adapter sandwich solution (resulting in my having to re-tighten all the nuts after each ride).
My question is this: Is there a spoke size/diameter requirement in order to safely use the custom sprocket adapter? If so, what's the minimum size requirement?
