Your cog is slipping.
It's a generic boat anchor rim laced to a coaster brake hub with straight gauge spokes. It's not worth much.

It's not a B43 is the difference.

Even if it is a real B43, it's an anchor laced to a ****ty coaster brake hub.
B43s are not considered one of Velocity's nicer rims (which is why they discontinued them for 2013).

So you bought a frame and one wheel. Off Craigslist. You paid with payPal. Now you want to dispute what you bought?

'Buy first, research second' very rarely works.

I could kinda go for a wheel like that. If it was cheap, like $30.

Seller ignored me. My PayPal claim is on the frame which was advertised as "new" but clearly isn't. Contacted UPS, too. My main concern wasn't with the wheel...I was more or less just curious to find out info on it. Thanks for helping.
