Are all races equal?

https://i.imgur.com/hhQ1fz7.jpg This hub is from a trike, but I don't know how to mount it into a truing stand. I try to true the wheel while it's mounted on the trike, but I keep messing it up, sucks this way. Anyone know a way to mount this funky hub in a truing stand? Thanks

Awesome guys, thanks.

Anyone know of any rims stronger? This 26" rim is dual wall, deepish V shape, 850g. Thanks

Linked alarms, there are wireless ones. Sounds like you, Dan, had a smoke alarm in the attached garage but was unable to hear it. The topic of the perfect alarm is unclear to me, but I have a linked alarm in my garage as well as various parts of the house. But I am worried once I start...

Thanks for the reply and such. I had found some dual disc hubs, originally that was what I was looking for to find the idea. Generally I suspect the answer is to just add spacers and maybe get a longer axle. Mostly it's about lateral strength (as amber mentioned), but maybe generally it's...

Spoke angle is usually an issue for hub motor wheel builds. The large rim diameter and smaller hub motor make it much less of an issue here. I've asked about spoke/nipple angle maximums, never really get a solid answer as it's often supremely circumstantial, some rims might be better suited...

Hello, I am looking for symmetrical bicycle hubs for front wheels that have a disc mount and use cartridge style bearings. Right now I am thinking of trying to simply add some sort of spacers to the other side of the axle in order to match the spacing of disc mount so the spoke flanges become...

In my experience, usually they include some degree of documentation, usually by e-mail, on programming controllers. But I suspect some people just rely on whatever stock settings are included in their controller. I am guessing em3ev would e-mail information on request if nothing else, but I...

I had the same problem with aluminum racks, full suspension frames. The racks I used we're loaded vastly below their ratings, I just looked for the highest load rating and went with that. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fatigue_limit "Other structural metals such as aluminium and copper, do not...

I've been shopping to insane degrees for tires myself, no expert though, and certainly not on 21" moto tires. Feel free to ignore this bit if you understand aspect ratio to a crystal clear degree. It may also be worth understanding aspect ratio. Took me a while to figure it out. Here is the...

Where did you find the rim? Any reason you went with 2.25 moped tire? Which tire and how much does it weigh? What is the inflated diameter?

I am guessing it is close to impossible to accurately describe with words what I am trying to convey, I suspect it'd work but I lack the ability to say it correctly.

If it was necessary maybe you could use the derrailuer threads already on the frame, just by hacking off a small amount of the other leg where it interferes? Personally, the worst case scenario to myself might be to remove the 2 bolts, place the torque arm over the hub motor axle and tighten...
