weird speedo problem

I'm posting this here in case someone else has a similar problem with
their speedometer.
The gear apparently locked up & caused the aluminum tabs on the actual
wheel to sheer off. No way to fix it, as the missing parts are
bearing-mating surfaces & welding new tabs on wouold need to be
machined to mate up with the seal.
Gonna hafta buy a new wheel. I called a bunch of junkwards & found one
for $250. Ordered new gear/housing for $80
Only good news is will have 2 wheels, so can have on & off-road tires.
I use the GPS's speedo off-road so that's fine.

I think(?) people have repaired this problem(the wheel) before. Maybe
someone who has will chime in.

Haven't had this problem, but if I do I'll probably just pop for a
bicycle computer/speedo or a Trailtech setup (about the same thing,
but made for motos).
