So I installed the pedals. It was more of a byatch than I thought it would because the mini pedals are very small, so there aren't a lot of options in terms of placement. Also, the pedals are a rounded, so it's tough to drill them where you marked em, and also tough to get the pedals to actually bolt on straight. Anyway, enough bitching, they're pretty sweet but I'm totally unused to them so they're kinda weird and annoying; we'll see how that goes. They accentuate the problem that the pedal action isn't very smooth. I have to work on that.
I ALMOST installed the wheel. I finally got the right size socket ( that would be 1 and 5/16ths ) but stupidly got it with a 3/4" drive. My impact drill is 1/2". So today I got a 1/2" to 3/4" adapter and was finally able to remove the old wheel with the help of Scott's puller. Yay! BUT the new adapter allows more threads through, and a bit of the spline so when I screw down the bolt all the way, there's still a little play.
Currently on the lookout for some big ass washers.
Photos to come when wheel is properly installed.

What's all this imperial rubbish. Millimetres, son, millimetres!
Oh man, don't get me started! I have to get wrenches in all sizes for both metric and imperial cause the mini stuff is all metric and the honda stuff is all imperial ... or the other way around. But yeah. It's a BYATCH.
