The Adult Big Wheel Project

[gowjobs]

My buddy, Scuzzo and I started initial cutting/welding today:

Building two - this one will be Scuzzo's:

Next: brakes and cranks! (A seat would be a welcome addition as well.)

These are the front wheels for my next soapbox project. The ones that will be on it when it's done are zytel nylon like a tuff wheel. The five spoke on it are made by Azusa Engineering.

ok, after seeing the video one of these might be my next project... or maby two of these.

 

[Mr. Burnz]

:shock: Wow what a video! Don't let your kids see this!

 

[xHOBOPHOBIAx]

so you haven't made the crank yet, are you going to scratch build one or use a unicycle one? If you scratch build one i know that there are people who might want you to post detailed pics... please.

 

[banana seat Brian]

dont use a unicycle one,,,you need free spin

 

[gowjobs]

That's the trick - I came up with what I think is a better way to set up the front hub/crank. Not only does it make a freewheel possible, but... well, you'll see in a couple of weeks or so. I'll take pics as I fab it.
