still fermenting the idea of a 26 x 4 tadpole trike but wheels and hubs for the front are an issue.
Utah trikes, fat tire hubs for 20mm axles are $75 each
Conjuring up idea to go the DIY route. Did this before but slightly different and a never finished.
PLAN purchase sealed ball bearings

then purchase some DOM tubing

procure large steel washers, weld to tubing for spoke flanges. Both hubs for less than $35 - $40.
really contemplating this. My issue may be welding the washers. Need clean perfect weld. MAYBE?
Any thoughts on this process??
