Forgive me if this the wrong place for this, couldn't seem how to post in the for sale area...... For the Bike HacKerS in all of us. Found a bunch of Small Wheels at a local scrap yard today. I'm planing to build a "Forkless Blike" in the future and was looking for the hub off a Wheel Chair to use as a front wheel hub assembly. These wheels look good but lite duty, should work for the front wheel. There selling for $3 each at the yard, and you pay for the trip in the U.S. They are one sided axle with no threads on them, Size is 8 1/2 inches out side diameter. 10 spokes per side, sealed ball bearings with no markings on any part. Was going to use the hub on a 20 inch wheel. I can get the front wheel and the side wheels, I believe these were for a baby stroller of some type, who knows. Im in Boise ID 83709 thanks Rich- The Wheels The Fork less Bikes, the ony two on the net I can find.
Those are pretty wild. When you said that you were going to build a "forkless bike," I thought you were doing something like a lefty.
That's pretty sweet I have never seen those before You could make one where a half of a large hoop shaped piece of metal holds it together from above the bike then the crank emerges from a tube near the back tire and you could roll the entire bike
Lefty or righty, single fork idea. Is it to cut the weight of the bike or drag? Who knows, I bet the price of the bike went up several hundred bucks.
