Stretched e-Muggy (Baja-style) Build Thread

[Jahay]

Hi Brian, i know this is a silly question...
But which alloy tape are you using around your hexs exactly so they fit the 24mm baja hex correctly?

Is it similar to this?

and obviously it isnt 1mm thick so, would you just do multiple wraps till it fits snug in the hex?

Thanks... and sorry for the silly question... i just dont want to strip my baja hexs

That's basically the stuff that I was using when I was running 23mm hexes. And yes, couple of wraps and make sure that the fit is snug.

Exactly - I found my aluminum tape in the ventilation/ductwork aisle at the Home Depot.

And someone else cut a strip of aluminum from their coke can and put it in the hex to fill the space - you could even super glue it to the hex so it stays put when you mount the wheel.

Edit: link to coke can reference
