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.
