Now with 10g super fat spokes and custom made hub with motorcycle bearings
I ended up using a custom hub that of of my metal shop dudes got for me instead of the one I bought and already modded. I will use that one for the front instead with the K10 fork.
Anyways, now I have extremely amazing and high quality bearings for motorcycles in the hub and we machined a pipe that we installed inside the hub between both bearings so the 9mm axis fit through it. Outstanding work of my friend. I was blown away. I bought a rusty old a$$ screw in a screw store that was lying around there, and we cut a pipe out of it.
If you take the wheel in both hands and spin it a little, it will literally keep spinning for 5 minutes, thats how good the bearings are.
Back home putting everything together I finally realized that because of all the excitement and brainstorming to get those bearings to work for me, I totally forgot that I need the bicycle sprocket hahaha. That doesnt work at all with that type of hub, so for now I gonna have to keep driving it as pure motorcycle. Anyways I will check this week to get license plate for it too.
So I just finished and have to wait for the morning to test the wheel because its raining like crazy here and in the night the rain doesnt dry in 5 minutes like during the day. But thats how it is in the tropics.
I am planning on using the rim or the front when my 80mm rim finally arrived from Germany later on. But it looks amazing even like that already. Cant wait to blow a couple cars tomorrow without having to worry I am losing 30 spokes.
Oh btw, for the first time I actually tested the top speed and also high rpm, something I never had done before. It goes already 60mph with a ratio of 10.000 which is pretty amazing since this was supposed to be short gearing haha. More amazing is the time it takes to get to that speed. I dont like to use more than 10% throttle for take off because thats what really mess up parts, but if its running with 10mph already it just takes about 3-4 seconds to get to 60mph. The acceleration is pretty stunning - not just for me haha. I love the faces of people that just got blown by a bicycle
I want to take the ratio down again to 9.000 later on to get some more top speed as soon I have a better clutch. For now its perfect especially for the city and 45-50 is a good cruising speed outside San Juan.
