Hi James S.
It took a while to find a set of 16" wheels with 3/8"axles and 4 cones borrowed
from 4 coaster wheels to fit the 1/2" pedal holes on the kiddie short crank.
The alignment is very simple but wasting 4 coaster brake wheels for cones would
be too much. Cranks with 9/16" hole tend to be longer, unless they are from
unicycles.

There is some noise that seems to be coming from the bearings as a result of
being side mounted. Previously I had thought it was from the Frankenstein pedal
axle not being straight or rubbing the hub. Time to try out wheels with sealed
bearing...

James,
All you need to use are 4 wheel bearing inner races, two on each side to
attach to the pedal hole. The tapered side on the race will self align in the
pedal hole, no extra parts/machining needed. Contact me for a photo. I have
this setup on an MBB bike and if you use it in the 90 degree you will get
free suspension.

Subject: [python] Ilean connecting cranks to rear wheels
I am planning an Ilean rear end for my existing Python. My question is about
connecting the cranks to the wheels. Rather than weld, I would like to use a
Helicoil type of device to reduce the crank hole so that it fits the wheel
axle. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you. Jim Wells
