Wheel

Oct 12, 2005 8 Replies

My mate Shaun decided to fit a generator to his bike. It was fitted in a small wheel. In the hub. He wanted it to charge up his home made LED light on the rear made from a railway crossing light. (Works for railtrack or some such...) His own bike uses large diameter wheels. Not having the correct spokes to rebuild the new hub (found rusty next to the railway line) wasn't going to stop him. Hes a bit like me! He improvised. Light charging system now working perfectly... I had to post a picture of this...

No hacking! But they are not a secret anyway... There are no "dirty" ones, she wouldnt let me post em!

haha they have lots of spokes for a reason, wonder how durable that will be.
