Frankenbike homemade foam rear disk

what's the story behind home made foam rear disk? I am intrigued.

Hipster wanted a disc without the hassle of finding a clincher one with a track hub and without worrying about it failing during a rad skid?

Is it not going to be finished?

nah

Yep :) it's been loads of fun, thanks again!

I kept meaning to make one but never got round to doing it properly :(

The foam makes it weigh a ton and it takes a lot of work. there must be a better way

Perhaps try and find a less dense foam?

IR guessed it. Filled a cheapo wheel with expanding foam and smoothed down the sides. Intention was to make a passable looking disc wheel but the foam's extra heavy, crumbles off easily and doesn't make a smooth surface for spraying.

You could lay some depron sheet foam over then spray it after.

Or just make some pvc covers

Or that.

Not sure you get dat disc noise haha

You don't :'(

Where's the fun in that?!

It'll have more than rumble than filling your spokes with expanding foam.
