Nested wheels

[Irontri]

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

YES!! Wow! The human spirit lives! It's a fantastic creation.

Hahahaaa it’s pointless but I respect the work! It’s impressive that you even made it work with the spokes you have… you must have a lot more loose spokes than I.

Must have been a nightmare to true.

That is just awesome

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

Must have been a nightmare to true.

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 part of 3 days to build these and that was with dead-on measurements. To put it in perspective, I can measure, cut, thread, lace, true, and round a wheel in 1 hour. So shoulda taken 6 hrs

As you saw in the video, they’re rideable with no more wobble than a perfectly trued wheel with a fat tire mounted.
