What would be ideal wheels for my build?

[Felix Stalka]

Im planning on making wheels myself for my 70cc minarelli hybrid when thin spokes give up and I'm going to be using it on all type of terrain, goal for this bike would be to get it to 50 or more mph and I thought that you guys might have tips/recommendations when it comes to wheels for mb. Bike is 26" dirt jumper with quick release axles and currently sprocket mounted on disc brake hub, so should I replace hubs when the spokes break and I'm going to have to rebuild wheels, or just leave them and get thicker spokes and better rims? Also any other info/tips would be appreciated

Upgrade the hubs to ones woth sealed bearings amd not quick release axles

If you decide to stick with spokes use Saphim, DT, or Wheel Smith. If you're off roading lace in White Industry Hubs. Use double walled rims.

Would that be possible with frame made for qr skewers?

Some frames simply aren't safe to use. You have to remember not only are you making the bike faster; you're also making it heavier.

Maybe not the safest but I like the look and feel of it, engine fits really tightly and I'm planning to stick with it. Most likely im gonna fill the frame with polyurethane foam and reinforce it with JB weld

Is it steel or aluminum?

Before you force me to change frame I wanna say that I overall really like this bike and don't want to change it, and yeah it's aluminum=.=

I was not going to demand you change frames, just watch it very closely. I was also going to suggest you find someone that can make and weld on some track style dropouts in place of those

I've known several women over my life time who would buy a piece of crap car but wanted it because it was pretty.
