With the lights all worked out.... Now I have to repair the spokes. I think I can get a replacement spoke set from a local bike shop
@Motodrachen i got several broken spokes from a derail, and the rest are bent substantially from the torque of the motor. Looking for a more suitable hub, this 7 speed is cool but not practical for this
@Motodrachen they're straight-cut too; I'm thinking I should find a hub meant for a disk brake because the center hole of the sprocket seats nicely over the brakehub spline. debating if it's worth it to try and build a wheel From Parts, get this one fixed, or buy one off the rack
@Motodrachen I got it running dead-nuts true, and then had to do that all over again after attaching the sprocket. AND DID SO.
@Motodrachen looked up a few vids, and managed to dial it in to under 1/16" runout in ~ 20 mins. now I need to balance the tension. very little (if any) Dish to this wheel, single sprocket hub
