hi,

well, the middle is wood with blue paint on it... I thought of painting
some stars on it because it looks boring this way 😉

the wood is fixed with screws through the spoke holes... then there's a
stable rim band (or whatever "felgenband" is in english 😉 ) so that
the scews do not damage the inner tube...

I build it together with a friend (actually we made 2 uws)...

pumping it up is actually not harder than a tire on a normal bicycle,
why shoud it? you need more air in it but beside that it's just the
same...

oh, and it's a 26" tire....

well basically its a screw nut which is welded on a large shim (I don't
know whether this is the right word?)... we didn't had a screw nut
(because you need one with a righthand thread and one with a lefthand
thread) so we bought a cheap pair of cranks and sawed through it so
that we had kind of nut... we drilled holes in the plates and screwed
it onto the wood.. on the other side we also used a plate for making it
more stable (you see it on the third picture...

I hope this was understandable...

does the pedales are perpendicular to the rim ????

I ask this question because when I buil mine, whith steel instead of
wood it was the bigest problems (the screw nuts had been destroyed too
easly) .

And that why it's in the bin now...
