I meant to mention this last year.......I bought the woom2 kit and put on my daughters CNOC 14. The woom2 kit comes with the whole wheel, which doesn't fit the CNOC well. BUT...... you the WOOM2 hub laces right up to the CNOC looks like it came from the factory that way.

My go-to site for spoke purchases is Dan's Comp. It's a BMX site so they have short spoke blanks and they'll cut, thread and sell you spokes in whatever quantity that you need. They're both fast and cheap too. You have to order spokes by telephone.

They've become my go-to spoke vendor as well. I mention them all the time in wheelbuild threads. Unfortunately, I didn't know about them when I was swapping hubs on this bike (started this thread almost 1.5 years ago).

So the rim sizes must be identical? Do you use the spokes from the woom wheel or keep the spokes from the islabikes wheel?

Have a friend who bought islabikes for her kids and is somewhat regretting the coaster brake. Maybe getting the freewheel kit is an option.

I think you can use either spokes. I used the islabike ones, they matched the front.
