  2. That's pretty sweet.

    I'd just take my Uni wheel off and ride it like that...

  3. An uw with cranks is harder that one without cuz you get less wobble.

    Consider me an Ultimate Wheel pro then? I can ride my Uni wheel without
    the frame or seat.

    Nice! I like the way you welded the pedal holes to the wheel. Looks
    like it will be stronger that way rather than drilling a hole through
    the supports (spokes).

    What size? Steel or aluminum?

  9. That looks very professional, minus one little detail, I noticed that
    near the welds the heat had caused bends in the rim.

    Still I doubt you will notice them and its certainly a damn fine UW.

  12. Right now its just brushed aluminum, sometime in the distant future it
    will get powdercoated.

    that was the easiest way to do it, I took some old cranks of a mountain
    bike and sacrificed them to the cause.

    and I used a 622mm rim because the price was right (freeeeee!!)
