I'm trying to get a drum or disc brake hub installed on my felt fat tire bike. The wheel uses 12 ga spokes and I want to keep them as well as keep the whole setup black.
I've called 15 local bicycle shops 5 motorcycle shops and they all act like I'm crazy. Bike shops refuse to listen when I say 12ga (according to them 14ga is plenty. Haha yeah right!) and motorcycle shops stop me when I say bicycle.
I've tried contacting pirate cycles with no luck there for one of their complete wheels, felt only has email (which is rediculous, they should at least have a customer service number.) I'm currently waiting on a local dealer to see if they can get a complete front wheel and brake assembly for a felt Shelby cruiser but I'm not getting my hopes up.
Can anyone point me towards a place that can lace a disc or drum brake into my original felt wheel using black 12ga spokes?
Thanks
Randy
