josh_kirk990 said:Hey everyone i have unicycled for a while and i wanted to move onto BC
wheel riding but im broke (everyone keeps telling me to get a job but
Meh) so im making one, for nothing, well thats the goal.I need some help with a few things so any help is awesome
1. Wheel size is 20 inch with 14mm hub is that ok?
20 INCHES WILL BE KINDA SQUIRMY, AND GOOD FOR DROPS AND JUMPS. 14MM IS
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.2. because im making it for nothing i can only use stuff that i find or
that i have already so because of that the only 20inch wheel i could
find was kinda rusted, so how do i clear the rust?THERE LOTS OF STUFF AT STORES SAYING THEY WILL GET RID OF RUST, TRY
THOSE. OR USING A STEEL WOOL CAN GET IT OFF.3.I want to paint the Rim and Spokes and hub (probly green and orange)
how would i do that and you could almost name anything to use coz my
dad has a whole shed of paints and that stuff (don't ask me why he just
buys stuff lol)I RECENTLY PAINTED MY RIM. I USED A BASIC SPRAY PAINT. A COUPLE LAYERS
OF THE COLOR, AND A COUPLE LAYERS OF FINISH. NOT SURE WHAT YOU'D WANT
TO DO FOR SPOKES.4.the plates-square steel tubing,wall thickness is 2mm, size 20mm ok?
Theres a picture of the shape im going weld together down the bottom(i
got it from this website so who ever i got it off thanks heaps lol)I KNOW THAT DESIGN IS A VERY GOOD DESIGN FOR STRENGTH, AND WILL
PROBABLY NEVER BREAK IF WELDED CORRECTLY. IM NOT SURE FOR TUBING WIDTH
THOUGH, SO SOMEONE ELSE WILL HAVE TO ANSWER THAT.5.And lastly how would i go around painting my plates after i have
welded them?THE PAINT WILL COME OFF QUICKLY FROM RUBBING, STANDING, AND CRASHING. I
WOULD RECOMMEND USING COLORED GRIP TAPE INSTEAD.Thanks in advance to anyone who can help and if i have said anything
stupid understand that im blonde lolhttp://tinyurl.com/2fmsb2 i couldnt work out how to insert image sorry
thats the shape
