Home made disc wheels

any tips and tricks?

like, for real? or for polo (scrapper style)?

corrugated plastic. cut big circle. cut v out of big circle attach to spokes with tie wraps. get puncher. realise you have no hole for the valve.scream and shout for a few minutes. go to pub and fuck bike right off for 4 weeks. try again from the top.

If you cut a V out of a circle it will not be a circle when joined right?

im so bored im tempted to make a disc wheel.

do it i wanna see if it works ;P

Cut large circle, cut hole for hub and valve access, cut thin triangle to make the disc 'cone' (work out the maths first) - cut some more small holes around the edge to help you zip tie to the spokes.

1 rich tea biscuit = 1 disk wheel for your prototype :)

get dunking!

gaffer tape across the spokes.
and no if you cut a V out it wont be a circle it will be a cone strangely enough.
peice of wood. hole in the middle. fit hub though hole. attach a tyre with super glue.:P
