That makes a lot of sense so that you won't have all the weight pulling on your steering. I learn something new EVERY day, it's only 9:30am... I guess I can just nap the rest of the day now.
Zumo said:I think I am going to attempt this my self. Great work here. Where did you find a stem for this? Or did you make one?
Zumo said:Another question:
What type of tubing did you use for the center tube that you cut off? Something from another bike?
bigfatcat said:It's a mountain bike top tube. I have a pile of bike "chunks" to choose from.
Zumo said:Ha ha, as do I.
I thought you might say that. I am going to try and start mine today.
Zumo said:How long did you make your head tube? Did it depend on the stem you had? I started mine and right now am using a 12" head tube.
I know this is a older post but do you or anyone know a how to link on making the double wheels like you have made I would just like to see how before I jump into making one maybe tips or warnings or anything I should lookout for before attemptingHere's a picture of the stitched rims. Sorry about the terrible focus. :lol: Hopefully I'll have the bondo on the frame completed and paint by tomorrow.

I did also manage to score this sweet enormous Mack truck light off ebay as well! Now to figure out if I want to mount it to the basket or the bars!

Thanks for replying yeah I'm going to weld them and it's going to be regular metal rims was it any harder to true than any other rim I guess that all depends on if you get it to hot and warp them I will have to be careful. Will a 2.125 tire fit?I made 2 pairs, air valves holes must be opposite to each other, like one up and the other one down. If you're gonna arc weld them, like I did, take your time cause if the rims get too hot they will probably want to bend. Don't let them!!
If they're aluminium rims, get a mig
