Me too, I stick some fleece samples to the straps to look like great big side burns. Maybe that's why Bradley Wiiggins had big sideburns?

When you initially thread all the nipples on to the same place/thread on the spokes you will need to back the right side nipples off 2 full turns before proceeding to allow for those spokes being 1mm short and put them all in the correct starting place as if the spokes were the correct length...

I would recommend this wheel building book. The author has put years of experience into it. Plus he has a spoke calculator on the website too. https://www.wheelpro.co.uk/wheelbuilding/book.php

Thanks for this post Nealh. I'm sure I bought my GSM motor based of his posts and had lots of other helpful info from AK. That velo sure does look a nice build.

I would recommend this book for all you need to know about building wheels. https://www.wheelpro.co.uk/wheelbuilding/book.php

BMSBattery sell a Q100H 260rpm which might be what you are looking for. https://bmsbattery.com/motor/631-16311-q100h-36v350w-rear-driving-ebike-hub-motor-ebike-kit.html#/327-rpm-260

It looks like the ones I linked to have a short piece of wire already connected ready to solder onto existing wires, but you can get the plugs on their own ready for crimping too.

It's a JST 3-pin connector. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/322507543319?hash=item4b16f29317:g:5ZYAAOSw42dZDj~D

How about your mate asks somebody like ryanbuildswheels.co.uk or thespokedwheel.co.uk to see if he sent them the motor only, would they build it up in a new rim. Posting the motor only would cost about £10'ish

Same as me , this book got me into it more and my wheels have never give any problems since following this book.

If your current wheels are 14y old they are likely secured by nuts on the shaft ends or quick release. Newer hubs like these are thru axle and won't fit in the same frame.

I've only ever bought low value items on Ali over a few years and never had any problems.

Ali add UK VAT on the price at the checkout, ebay don't (yet).

I'd recommend this book for wheelbuilding, I always refer back to it when I've got a wheel build coming up. https://www.wheelpro.co.uk/wheelbuilding/book.php

It looks like that bike has thru-axle wheels. The Q128C needs the quick release wheels style of frame.

I re-use the 18650 cells in portable powerbank USB chargers and torches but I still have an old 36v pouch style battery I'm looking for uses for.

Tightening the steerer topcap on it's own won't have done anything if the 2x stem bolts were still tight so won't have caused any damage.

After connecting them together, wrap some satelite/aeriel amalgamating tape around it.
