So i've done the frame drawing by hand. Got my angles and lengths, now i'm going to use this tube mitre program: http://metalgeek.com/static/cope.pcgi to print out the mitres.
I'm about to build my alfine into a 26" rim (Halo T2). First full wheel build, so we'll see how that goes.
I've been thinking about putting a front disc brake on the forks, i also just bought some forks for my polo bike that also need a disc mount, so i'm going to buy a cheap hub, put the rotor on and the caliper on the mount to tack them on in the right place. Then i want to build the hub into a 20" rim.
However, the only 20" rims that CRC have seem to be BMX, but ones like this

can be had as cheap as £10
Can you only put bmx tyres on a bmx rim, or will any 20" tyre fit on?
