16 inch wheel with quite large 3 speed nexus hub?

m4rkiz

hello everybody

i cycle a lot with my kid, recently we tried some longer distances and there is small problem with his 16 inch giant animator

it perform well on flat areas, but it is nearly impossible for my 5 year old to climb any hill

i recently found never used 3 gear sg-3c41 nexus hub in my parts collection, but after many hours spend with google i still can't find a way
to complete a 16 inch (305) wheel - main problem is that it has 36 holes, while majority of rims uses 28 spokes

now, should i keep searching for 305 rim with 36 holes and
<monty_python_mode:on> BICYCLE REPAIRMAN <monty_python_mode:off>
that could put it all together or should i consider other options?

i really hope that there is something that can be done there - like skipping some holes in the hub or perhaps could i check for some small wheel folding bike parts?

maybe somebody in here has an access to some shops\wholesalers and enough experience to help me put that wheel together or advise some other economically viable options?

I had a 5 speed Sturmey Archer hub built into a 305 rim for one of my kids bikes a year or so ago.

as i recently put that back on my "spring is coming" to-do list:

i know it is it is bit of a long shot, but any chance that Your kid has grown enough for new\bigger bike?

if you want to sell it let me know before i start reinventing the wheel
