Ok so i spun out hex on wheel hub and wheel "got aluminum wheel hub on way" but what I'm thinking that i might use a two part apoxy to glue one of the plastic hex in the wheel as a spare in a pinch. Is this good idea or is b there something stronger i could glue it with?

I am not sure if I would do that..."Glueing" something together always makes them "thicker"...And In this case, I think, you don't want that...
On the other hand, if I would glue it together...I would most likely use epoxy...
Or something we call "keertak" (couldn't find an English word for it)...But it is a type of glue which kind of "solders" plastics and similar stuff together...Highly chemical poop...Not to be used in small confined places (oooh, pretty colors all around me )...

Anyway, just my two cents on the subject of glueing things together...And if somebody got an English word for it...Please tell...

Update: No it isn't two components glue...

The thing is when you glue in a plastic hex inside the wheel, still the metal pin driving the hex is the strongest point. It will shred the internals of the hex eventually.

I even have seen Louise rims where the wheel spokes just ripped of by the sheer force of brushless 4-pole power!

So, yes you could to be able to still use the wheel. But it is a hassle to get the pin right each time.
What I did (been there as well) is move this wheel to the front, where it is no issue.
