Yeah EZL, when you were talking Mag wheel. I just not easily kept my trap shut. Glad you found out about Mags.I did some checking on that Shimano hub and the bearing inside it went bad on the cassette side. The bearing on the
other was ok. I did some checking on the spoke size and the wheels are the standard #14 which aren't heavy enough
for the 79cc or especially the 212cc engine. A wheel that is a good steel wheel with the larger bearings used in a
coaster brake might be the way to go with #12 spoked wheels. I am still considering the mag wheels but I've also
seen fellas that had problems with them on the YouTube reviews. I think some of the problems were done by them
not knowing what they were doing mechanically, no "common-sense?"
12ga. spokes are a minimum requirement in our applications, My Flyer has a https://mbrebel.com/product/sturmey...-drum-brake-wheel-26-x-2-125-11-gauge-spoke/
And the rear Worksman wheel has a Shimano 110 hub.
I never measured the spokes but have more mass than the front spokes.
