I noticed (and just confirmed) that the two fat tires I possess both have front wheel hubs. But I need a rear wheel hub for the racer. I went looking online yesterday and they are surprisingly hard to find. I eventually searched for "rear hub 197mm 32H" to find what I was looking for. Most of them are pricey, but I found a closeout sale for this hub for $21! (regular price $180).

In case anyone is looking.
Also, the stage truss that is integral to the design has arrived! Comparing the actual truss to the virtual one. It mostly matches up. The only difference is it has 9 cross-members (my model has 10). The virtual has ten. Now I must update the truss model to see if I need to adjust anything. Mostly I have to make sure that the cross-members aren't in the way of anything that needs to run through the truss, like drive axles.
