Thank for the info. Think I need to replace rear wheel! Do u suggest any kind of spoke # and gauge want it bullet proof. Also what sprocket adaptor to purchase? Want top end but also need torque for hills?
I have the stock sprocket kit (HT 66cc 26" frame) installed. I have no problem @ 220# climbing hills. My favorite climb is Oak Mountain, Pelham AL. (550' climb with steep grades, in less then 3 miles) Speed...faster then I want to be doing on a bicycle, especially coming down the mountain. It gets so bad that I at times have to kill the engine, have clutch engaged, and use both front and rear brakes, to keep it manageable. My engine never labors.
You won't be able to mount the stock rag joint on your wheel, maybe the sprocket but not the joint.
