    Bit of a update, to make the rear rim work as I want I have had to machine
    a new hub to suit, more hours than it's worth buts it's for me so I can.
    Still want to go in from the underside and take out some extra weight.
    Not essential but can't hurt....
    Started out as a 140 dia 6061 t6, only because it's under half the price of
    what I wanted lol it's fine and to be honest machined a lot nicer than I remembered

    Thanks si, tho only if it that was true lol I work very hard
    to keep things practical. A big mistake a lot of people make
    is having unrealistic ideas on what they want to achieve and
    what it takes to do so. Nothing wrong with that of course but
    very quickly every thing just turns out convoluted.

    Pictures of it fitted to the rim, I'm tempted to ditch the second
    Bearing I was going add.

    The extra 200 grams shouldn't be an issue because the Ø of the mass is smaller, so the effective inertia will be less.
    Inertia goes up by the square of the Ø.
    Lighter parts help with getting power to the ground, Yes
    Smaller parts do the job even better.

    Now go and quote up that disc adp. as if you where making it for someone
    No don't... I'd hate to know what all my parts would have cost me haha

    the order of pictures makes it look like you are turning a machined part back into it's raw bar stock haha

    lol God no, I purposely didn't keep track of time, I didn't want to scare myself lol
    Even just design in hours would make most people's dick shrivel, easy over 20 years
    in machining at a guess....

    Hah - engineer types - I resemble that remark! Is that because I've taken to weighing everything I change lately?
    Should have included the disc weights to show a total weight loss :P

    You should see how the push bike fags go with weight ... some guys take out 3 of the 6 cap screws holding on the discs because it saves .0000000002 grams or whatever...
