Sat Oct 03, 2009 12:20 pm My rollerskate wheel hub project
Ok I sent off my order today.
Getting an aluminum hub made for rollerskate wheels.
I have re-designed a copy of a plastic hub from a wheel made in the 80's, using a smaller diameter bearing to create a lighter harder wheel to increase roll. Where the original plastic hub would flex under weight, the aluminum hub should not, increasing roll and speed.
This has come about because a local Aussie has started creating his own tires to replace the original tire.
So I'll be able to roll on brand new hubs and tires.
I am surprised and disapointed a bit this forum has not had more people share their jobs.
