Not really a true "rat rod" but I like it. It's been a while since I moved this thing. We have a 5 month old daughter we're been focused on. . Still want to do a triple tree and a front disk brake. Some day.......

Building a Choppers US 24X4 (the double bump one) wheel with a nexus 3 speed. Does anybody know the spoke size I'd use for a 3 cross or a radial lacing?

Is there any source for the offset cog other than US Choppers? I had one that I bought when I went with 80MM wheels, then gave it to a friend. He apparently can't find, or knows where it is now...... :/ Id prefer not buying another $30 part if I can help it considering these are made for about...

I got a set of wheels built and the vendor didn't offer any quality hubs to match the wheels. I should have just ordered the rings.... Lesson learned. So I'm having the front respoked and want to use a new quality hub. I like the Shimano XT without the disk brake mount but I also would like a...
