Heavy Duty Wheelset Sources

I have this back wheel setup and think its great, especially the sprocket mount.
Just pulled it apart today to try fit a different sprocket. The axle has alot of threading which an adapter like the Top Hat sprocket adapter screws onto, and then a large locking ring, very solid. But takes sprockets with a larger center hole and 6 holes for bolts that are closer to the center, so my 36T had no way of fitting.
The tyre is really strong, rode a few hundred metres at 30km/h with a flat before I realized, it's really difficult to pull out of the rim.

How do you like the band brake?

When I first got the band brake, I thought it would be an extremely strong brake, like a super disc brake, but it's not at all. It was alright though. The only brake I had on the back is an old caliper brake and they both seem to have the same power, this band brake works better in the wet though which I liked alot. It had a real squeaky sound when you used it.
I only had to take off the band brake cos after a wheel lockup the strap inside broke and pieces misaligned, otherwise I'd still use it, might get another
