Jake. Posted January 27, 2013 Report Share Posted January 27, 2013 I don't think it'll be able to take the stress of the disc brake somehow... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sponge Posted January 27, 2013 Report Share Posted January 27, 2013 But why was the disc bonded to the shell's driveside? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monty123321 Posted January 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2013 the disk wasn't bonded the full hub was machined and then a new pice in place of it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BradJohnson Posted January 27, 2013 Report Share Posted January 27, 2013 Quit all the slating. I've actually rode this and it works pretty well! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Reynolds Posted January 27, 2013 Report Share Posted January 27, 2013 Quit all the slating. I've actually rode this and it works pretty well! Get some proper pictures up, and details of how it's been done then 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blake Posted January 27, 2013 Report Share Posted January 27, 2013 Currently it looks like you've just tapped 6 holes in the hub and bolted a rotor on it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skoze Posted January 27, 2013 Report Share Posted January 27, 2013 How's it actually held on? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monty123321 Posted January 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2013 well the end would normally have nothing on but spoke holes so what he did was machine that completely off, as you can just make out near were it dips in at the end, and then he got billet aluminium and machined it so it will fit over a lip on the hub which he left on. then the holes for a disk were put in and the spoke holes and the whole thing was attached by sweating where you heat it up so it expands and then when it cools it has a firm hold on the lip. then we chemical mettled it to make it extra strong and painted it black Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blake Posted January 27, 2013 Report Share Posted January 27, 2013 How's it actually held on? Probably pritstick judging by the way the posts are written ¬¬ well the end would normally have nothing on but spoke holes so what he did was machine that completely off, as you can just make out near were it dips in at the end, and then he got billet aluminium and machined it so it will fit over a lip on the hub which he left on. then the holes for a disk were put in and the spoke holes and the whole thing was attached by sweating where you heat it up so it expands and then when it cools it has a firm hold on the lip. then we chemical mettled it to make it extra strong and painted it black That sounds like the worst possible way you could of done that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blake Posted January 27, 2013 Report Share Posted January 27, 2013 and what way would you have done it? I don't know, but expanding the shell with heat and letting it cool again to hold it together definitely not a good idea on a hub, surely it's going to crack?

LiamWood! Posted January 27, 2013 Report Share Posted January 27, 2013 Charming haha what's a profile shell made of? Alu? Yes Alu, they crack anyway. I've got a shell in my bedroom now that's been turned into a pencil holder. The drive side flange cracked and tried to rip itself off.

TROYston Posted January 28, 2013 Report Share Posted January 28, 2013 How are you going to lace the wheel if its bonded on? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rupintart Posted January 28, 2013 Report Share Posted January 28, 2013 (edited) lol @ typical people who don't read the thread or hate on it because they don't understand it or are willing to try anything new. There's people that said they have ridden it, yet people are still wondering how it's gonna be laced or how it's going to even work.

monty123321 Posted January 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2013 How are you going to lace the wheel if its bonded on? as you can see there are holes drilled for that and the disk isnt bonded on it was bolted on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bing Posted January 28, 2013 Report Share Posted January 28, 2013 Not slating your method lad, +1 for ingenuity, but I've had a bad experience with the driver ring in a profile coming loose after it was 'sweated in' , and a disk puts a lot more force on than a driver. They aren't known for strength, and are mega money to put right when they break Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monty123321 Posted January 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2013 yeah im not a good rider anyway and the bike is just in the garage most the time because of trials motorbikes so ill probly never break it haha i just wanted to put it up because I've never seen one on here before Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
