Greg I did basically the same thing....but I got the older internal brake hubs too,including the rims, for $40.00 each at salvage...the Honda Trail 90 or the Kawasaki250both are good....and Buchanan did a really great job....the stats on the 9 guagestainless steel spokes are that EACH spoke can pull 1000 pounds! These spokesare theupgrade for the pro off-road bikes that take enormous poundings...should be ableto takeanything except a vertical crash!Warren________________________________________________________________________________
