I spent this afternoon cutting, sizing, cutting, cussin, squeezing, pushing, cutting, and a lot more cussin to come up with this possible alternative to the nasty wheels. I found a peice of 1 1/2" (I think it was) PVC pipe with a rim-like lip, you can see the rest of it on the right, cut off about 1/4" of it off, and wrestled it into the original tire. The rim stretches the tire, so it gets a lower profile, looks a little better. The spokes are from the Pegasus set, cut the rims off, left the spokes and the structure on the back. Nothings glued in yet, and I haven't tried to adapt the parts to it so it will stay on the axles yet. My thumbs are still shaking from putting pressure on the rim and tire.
Nice custom rim work.
The rims look good as they are but mabe if you paint every other spoke then the spokes would match better, which will only work if their is an even number of spokes.

I've been searching all over to see if anyone has instruction on how I can install my " Fenix Lowrider Triple Mini Bee Bike Bicycle Lights" I'm in the process of building a trike and was planning on mounting the light to the basket and to a 12v battery. So far I've had zero success with powering...
