How to make a hexagonal wheel
Submitted by lyledriver on November 22, 2006 - 11:54amSo I set out to make the craziest looking chopper wheel I could imagine. I had a bunch of parts laying around and decided to try and make them work together.
Materials used:
- Alex MX22 single walled 20" rim, 48H, black
- Old Shimano Freewheel hub, low flange, 36H
- 36x 184mm Wheelsmith stainless spokes,
- 36x 14g nipples
- 12x punk rock spikes
Since I was attempting to lace a 36H hub to a 48H rim, I needed to skip some holes in the rim.
To make it really stand out, I determined that a 3Leading/3Trailing configuration would go well with the missing holes.
