Re: Used Parts Build

SWEET!

Reinforce the frame (the arms want to splay)

Also make a wheel for it, instead of a crank. I bent 1" 16ga tubing around an S10 rim, and made spokes out of 3/4". Steering wheels work well too.





Got a skateboard wheel? I made a tipping wheel with a Princess Auto (Harbor Freight) sprocket with the teeth ground off.
