Help!!! How do I lace my MXUS V3

[Ososjohnny]

Hey folks, I managed to bend the cheap Chinese 26" wheel that came with my new MXUS... so cheap that it didn't even get a flat tire from the impact that bent the wheel on my first good ride.

I am ordering a 17" Holmes hobbies wheel with 108mm spokes. Anybody have advice for lacing?

I am also going to switch to the 19" moped wheel up front, advice on that would be great too. I am either going to buy a complete 19" wheel with 20mm thru axle or purchase a "hope evo 2 36h" hub and lace it up myself. Laebike has a complete wheel but the hub is really cheap... I would prefer nice equipment.

I really appreciate everyone taking the time to read my sob story and give me their input!



Thanks,
John

I would like to put a 17" moped rim/wheel on my MXUS V3 and figured you guys would have some advice on how to pull this off without doing something stupid.

If it helps, there is a whole thread about moto/moped rims and such here:

that has a lot of useful info in it, and a number of others scattered thru this list

though most of them are probably not relevant to your question, there are some whose titles suggest they might be helpful.
