What color and width? I have and can get high polished, black, and I believe gold.

I have an 8 speed, brand new, $250

A guy in Poland has 2 rims and 2 tires laced to 1 hub, I guess like in your pic.

Stainless spokes aren’t normally shiny. Chrome or “UCP” will be shiny but steel. I carry Phil Wood SS spokes and can help you out for your next spoke and nipple order.

You’ll want a rear derailleur or chain tensioner pulley otherwise you will get massive chain slap when you ride in that 24

Yet a staggered wheel set has been a thing since before mtbs existed. It was from the chopper (bike and motorcycle) world.

That’s called a staggered wheel set. I build them all the time for the custom bike world.

It was interesting for sure. The ERD of one build became the PCD of the next build. Equal width hoops have a zero F-C and spoke calculators didn’t like that (a zero width hub), so I just used 1mm. Double end threaded spokes were wild to cut and thread. I trusted the math and calcs and they...

Now THAT I would LOVE to take on! Maybe next Xmas break.

Each wheel was basically 3 wheel builds. The challenge with having same width rims is you can’t really true it (spoke holes line up laterally). Rounding it was the same and each hoop is rounded near perfectly. But truing just had to fall in line for the outermost hoop. It took me the better...

How is it pointless? It’s a custom wheel set that’s rideable like any other.

Was bored and thought up and built a crazy wheel set. 26” mounted on a 20” mounted on a 14” wheel. Completely rideable too!

Oddly, it’s how those forks are designed.

They also came in 650c. I used and raced on them for several years.

A Squealer?!?! Just when I thought I’ve heard of them all too! Very nice!
