Three Wheeler????????

[Decedent]

Why am I having such a hard time finding a wheelset for the trike I'm building? I got a hold of an old bendix three wheel conversion kit and all I need is the wheels. :?: I know that the hubs are alot bigger but is there any way to modify an old hub? I have looked at a ton of sites regarding three wheel parts but I've only seen 1 or 2 actual wheels but they're really expensive.Anybody have any thoughts or ideas? Anything will help.Thanks

Some pics of what you have to work with would help you get pointed in the right direction.

Sorry,I thought I had put some up.I hope these will help.The axle is about 2 in. around.I just don't know how the wheels bolt up or what kind I am looking for.I was hoping to find either 24 or 26" wheels for this project.

you need wheels with these hubs

one side is will just roll, while the other gets bolted to the round plate on the axle so the hub will move with the axle.

You might talk to Uncle Strech, he might have some Worksmen hubs he could sell you. They are heavy duty hubs and run 10 ga spokes but you could lace them to any hoops, but heavy duty hoops look better that some skinny aluminum ones.

Sorry I only have one set left to the 3 wheeler I have . Worksman uses a differant setup. Either a square part on the axel or an axel with a keyway. Neither will fit a straight 1'' axel. I think theirs is like 3/4''

here's some 20" ones, if you search on this site I'm sure I saw some 26" ones
