Part Question

This question isn't very well posed. Can you give more detail? It seems
like you are talking about the hub flanges, the discs with the holes in
them for the spokes. Is it for a square, tapered axle or Profile or
other splined axle?

Its the shiny thing in the center. The spokes are not attached to it

Ah. A photo. Excellent. I wish I could tell you what it was. It looks
like a bicycle front wheel missing the bearing holders. That inside
thread is unfamiliar to me. Jagur, JC, and Mojoe are bigger bicycle
gurus than me.

Ahh, wait a minute. Now that Im thinking about it, that part was
actually to the hub for cranks, not the wheel. It just happened to fit
perfectly in the wheel. I am looking for an identical peice to put on
the other side so I can attach some cranks. It was in the same position
on the other hub, but had a one piece set of cranks coming out of it.
Does that help?

??? what the hell is that???

my best guess is its a free wheeling 2 speed kick-back hub or the guts
from and old Schwinn freewheeling bottom bracket that was on the
Suburban for a few years.....

either way, why is is on a unicycle?

the hub as you say that had the cranks going through it is acually
called a "Bottom Bracket".

anyway, this is very interesting. since that Bottom Bracket peice fits
in the hub like that i can see somthing working but how are you going to
get the 1 peice cranks to go in there? its just not wide enough like the
Bottom Bracket is.

I don't think you can turn that into a unicycle hub without either
welding (the easy way) or maching parts to fit (the hard way. In either
case, you will end up with something experimental that may not be very
strong. You'd be surprised how much force goes through a unicycle
axle/crankset.

Why not just use a unicycle hub? At least it'll start off clean... 🙂

Unfortunately, I couldn't get the cranks through the smaller hub. I
would need to set up an axle and branch cranks off from it. Otherwise,
I dont see why this wouldn't work. Nobody seems to think it will.

On the contrary, everybody else thinks it will work. They all just
realize that the cost of making it work is more than the cost of an
entire new unicycle.
