Oh! There’s a threaded bit on the driveside axle end that was pretty loose. Tightening it takes up all of the slop.
A bit of blue Loctite and maybe I’m finished?

Well it’s a velocity rim so it was bound to happen eventually.
yeah I think I’m gonna give up on tubeless and get a cr18. I can’t find any other silver 20” 32h options
yep the BMX stuff is all either 36h or 28h
I have an Alienation Malice rim on the front of my bakfiets. It’s hella tubeless and is a great rim, it’s been going strong for years. Mine is gold and silver was an option. I dunno about hole count though. Mine is 36.
Edit: Beautiful polished silver might be worth getting a new hub for lol
yeah i currently have a nice shiny silver SP hub that works great. but it’s 32h. i think there’s a silver 36h shimano in the parts bin but they’re so much uglier… plus lacing a 36h 20” wheel with a big ol dynamo hub sounds like a headache.
It’s no harder than lacing a 32 atmo.
Also, I wouldn’t hesitate to abandon tubeless on a cargo bike. Tubes with sealant is the way.
You’ll just have to choose your spoke wrench wisely. A regular spokey wrench won’t fit between the spokes on a 20" 36H wheel without the sides being cut down so it can actually be turned.
Weird. I tried the DT version on the 20" dyno wheel I had a while back and it was very much no-go.
Every once in a while I come across these pictures of my cousin’s bike after he got hit by a car. I can’t believe he walked away from this crash. His helmet was broken like like 12 places and honestly he hasn’t been the same since, but he did walk away (on a broken ankle/foot).

I recently retired my edge 200 cos it was virtually impossible to upload rides. Still has epic battery life too….
