  3. If they could get a gear to turn this thing, surely theres a way to rig
    up some cranks. Look how the part in the pic fits into the hub. If I
    could find another one of those (who knows where?) I can send on axle
    straight through sides and tighten it up. Right?

    Code:

    | | <-- The notch fits snug into the hub

    |_|

  5. Maybe you should make it into a BC wheel instead.

  6. Like it was said before, I dont think what you are trying to do can be
    done with any sort of easy fix. While you probably could make a unicycle
    hub out of that, i would not recomend it. The problem with using bicycle
    hubs is that they ment to spin with an axle attaching them to the frame.
    There is no part that will simply fit in that gap and allow you to
    attach any crank that is currently available. Machining one would not be
    worth the time and money needed to do the conversion. Not to mention
    several other problems that you are likely to run into.

    Sorry to burst your bubble.
