i dunno. this is frustrating. i guess i must have ****ed up somewhere. im just pissed as hell that my bike isnt working, and thinking its my fault is even more annoying. most things i can fix, but a stripped hub is a stripped hub, for whatever reason. i kind of tapped myself out buying the wheelset, too.
don't worry, you're not ****ed. mail it to tony, see if it falls under the warranty.
IF it doesn't, you can always still use the wheel. i'm guessing it's fixed/free. you can always jb weld or red loctite yourself a "suicide hub," if you're willing to weight the risks involved and do it right. or you can try to sell it to somebody who wants a single speed wheel, and get some money to work up to that $100-wheel. or you can buy a suzue basic and rebuild the wheel yourself, using the rim, old spokes and nipples, and the wheelbuilding guide on sheldon brown's webpage.
