    100mm rim, S-A SX-RK3 170 OLD 3 speed hub, 2 cross spoking with crossover to offset.

    Awaiting final tensioning – it's too fat to fit my jig, so I have to make up some gauges before I finish it.

    Too fat to fit the lbs wheel jig too 🙁

    Definitely going to have to make my own clearance gauges now.

    Or you could just use two cable ties on what you've got.

    That looks great for use in the UK 🙄

    Yeah zip ties would work on that . Looking forward to the finished article. Are you going to have to adjust the forks or will that beast fit as is

    I have another wheel (front) to build so it's worth going to the bother of having the gauges, otherwise I'd have used zipties or twisted bits of garden wire.

    I don't have a frame to fit that wheel into yet, but I will remedy that shortly. Just don't expect it to be pretty. 🙂

    Dammit! Would you lot please stop talking about fatbikes? I'm trying to convince myself that there's no need, but you won't let them lie. Yes I know they're slow and pointless and I don't even live near a beach/swamp/glacier but you won't stop talking about them!

    And then to throw a 3 speed sturmey into the mix.. Have you no shame???

    Then I'd better not talk about 2wd plans 🙂

    (But that's next year)

    Is that 2WD going to be based around your Oz purchase?

    Seems to be a niche of bikes designed for riding on snow and/or sand like the Surley Pugsley

    Now that will be a feat of engineering I would pay to see 😉
