Hubless Wheel Feasibility Project

[Captain Awesome]

Been awhile since I’ve dabbled in polymers but PA6 has a relatively low friction coefficient and a decently high melt point, yes?

Start making your “prototypes” and doing mock ups. You’ll still have plenty of work left to do even by May

Plus you still have the rest of the bike to deal with

Following along!!

Thanks cap! I'll build a "working" prototype then!

I also had to look up the properties of Nylon again to be honest. In our workshop, at my employer we also utilize Nylon wheels.
They are tough, wear-resistant, sound dampening. But having seen the incredible wear resistance of these wheels being used on rough, street/tile like surfaces, this was my first choice.

I was focussing on this term 'hubless wheel' which I would like to call an 'open wheel'.

But I just realized the principle I'm working with is more like a monowheel:

Check the rail (wheel) and rollers.
