Ive started building a flat glass/ally wheel from my last lot of resin. this time I'll take lots of photos, just in case anybody misses something, and assume that you are all ignorant of pletty much everything thats in all the other posts.
please dont post replies until Ive finished, then go for it, or post questions on one of the other wheel topic threads.
I will make up one of my flat glass rims with a composite bearing housing and outer rim built from 2 25mm aluminium bike rims.
' you can use steel rims. basically its a wheel based on newzealand designed wheels with internal spokes adding AUS 230's bike rim idea , using vindisdads bearing housings. and my lazy flat mold idea .
all the resin im using is polyester, no epoxy, you can use epoxy or vinylester if you like . the filler powder used is called cotton flock.
my wheel will be to suit a 6004 bearing , you will have to machine athe neccessary nylon inserts, or polished/waxed wooden ones, or polished steel/ally ones as you see fit.
the diameter rim I'm building this time is a 16" rim as it is quick , and I have just enough resin, the same construction method applies to any size bike rim you would like to build.
I will take photos of the rim being prepared tommorrow so go to bed

I've been finding these more often on EBay more often and to me they look like a way of building up 26" wheels without TIG welding rims together. Also the price of these is cheaper than 2 steel rims per wheel[}:)] And these are a lot cheaper than the Surly rims that some are using. Also....why 26"? 24" downhill rims at 40mm width are also available and would mean I could swap from the motorbike wheels to grp wheels by flipping my spindle holders from the bottom to the top of the main axle (as designed).
