Going into town to pick up the second front wheel for my DIY trike build and to drop off the MASSIVE (36" rim) back wheel to see if the shop can build this monster
@Tamber
Yis! 24" front wheels, 36" rear wheel, 2.15" tyres all round :3
Gonna hit ~40MPH in top gear through pure pedal power if I can put out that many watts xD
Here's one of the front wheels with a tyre on! (Just picked up the right hand wheel, and the bike shop says "we'll figure out a way" re the 36" wheel)
@Tamber
A giggle to build, and hopefully a rush to ride :3
Gonna have an 11-50t 'dinnerplate' cassette on the back, which the monster wheel will make look like a regular cassette :3
@cloakable @Tamber This sounds like almost everything I've wanted to do with an eventual custom means of locomotion :D

@Tamber
I'm gonna take a picture of the front wheels in the morning when I have good light :D
They look really sweet!
@digitalfox
@Tamber
Photos get! A full picture of both wheels; left wheel is on the left, etc
Then a close up of the drum brake hubs; both 70mm drums, but the right hand wheel is a 6v/3w dynamo hub too! You can see the cable dangling from inside the axle in the photo.

@digitalfox
Was considering between an electric mid-drive and dynamo hub, decided to go dynamo for the independence from plugs xD
If this goes nicely I'll turn it into a velocar!
