Yup. I will try to get a fitting wheel sprocket though (6.35mm). I think I could get any thing I want in the new local store I found regarding chain drives. 
Why do you want to go for chain drives though? Want to go off train? But the wh/km will increase though.
Wet leaves, tons of tiny rocks. The past belts cried, the pulleys cried. I love experimenting too. 
I have a belt drive ready now, but I want to feel the chain drive.

just finished my build, have to inflate my tires and go for a testdrive.
any clue how to fix the wobbel in the wheel?
small clip of the first motor
Are your bearings seated straight? Also they do wobble a little, because of imbalance from the inflation stem and the tire being not really that perfect… All major wobble I saw from your video was from the trucks anyways…
I guess the trucks amplify the wobble, I checked the bearing and it is pushed out a little, ( i gues from tightining the rim with the pulley, the internal spacer pushed it out )
Yup, the original spacers are way too wide for this…
Today I get first wheel…but… My axle is too short! How is this possible? I think that axle length is universal. How can I solve this?
Axle length is not universal. What trucks are you using ?
Compound 9.5 wide. I use orangatang kegel 80 mm wheels before. I dint even think it wont fit.
You need extended axles, like TB218 which seems to be very popular in this thread.
That wobble can also be from the pulley not being completly flat on the rim. Even if the tire has wobble, it shouldnt affect the pulley.
Whats your belt width? Did you cut a versa pulley?
Which trucks are good for this wheels? Are tb only one? I’m from Europe and don’t want to order from states. Or is there any other way to modify this trucks? If yes, how? I’m soooo f… mad about this, because I want to try this wheels soon. @mishrasubhransu tnx for stl files…adapter fits perfectly. Printed with ABS.
Any trucks with longer axles than standard will fit. Ask @dickyho for his trucks if you want. I would still recommend TB218s. Personally I can get them for ~80€ in Europe.

See if you can find the extended axle original caliber trucks in EU. That will work if you use 2X6355 motors. For 2X6374 motors you need TB218.
You can definitely take a hacksaw the cut the hangar a little bit. Just measure the wheels from outside of one bearing to outside of the other and decide how much of the hangar you might want to remove.
Which adapter did you print, do you have a pic? I updated the design to improve strength and bolt head clearance.

@willumpie82 To me the wobble is totally coming from the motion of the trucks. Probably because you are hitting the natural frequency of your trucks at certain speed. It’s absolutely not an issue.
Cut of some hangar is sure one of the solution. I already think about that option. But I have another one. Cut of some axle and cut new thread. Axle is 8mm so i can cut m8 thread on it. If I leave 10mm of axle and make new spacer with outh diameter of 10mm and m8 hole I can screw wheel with m8 bolt on axle…I have to take some time to figure it out. One is for shure I dont want to pay extra 100€ for trucks. I printed this adapter.
