Spotted this thread after I decided to turn a few spare hubs into coffee tampers for mates. Made a few now and managed to find loads of old, damaged or simply outdated hubs online.
Just wanted to share!
Checking back in a few videos I’ve recorded but not edited yet. Made this hub a while ago, needs some tweaking but it was a fun start to the process to match the hub in Mint’s bike.
Thanks so much @mattpayne! There's some challenges ahead for sure, attempted machining a test piece for the shallow channels in the Pace tubes...that will be fun!
yep @stevet1 your right, it was pretty straighforward. Just took some time to get the shape of the chain rings. I've made a jig to cut the brakes out and have filed down some aluminium bar but need to modify the jig to get the holes straight.
I was thinking of using spokes! I reckon using them means I can swap them out easily as I want a few different poses.
Thanks so much for the offer of advice about pattern making. I don’t have a vacuum chamber but have been thinking about how to do it at home.
I’ll definitely drop you a...
