Hi Irv
The front wheels that I used only has 5/16" axles, from cheap kids bikes and
probably too weak to mount directly to the crank. How are your 3/8" axles
holding up?
Maybe the 1/2" pedal axles are overkilled. I will look for some wheels with
3/8" to try.
Thanks

Hi James S
I am interested to see your set up also. You can submit small photos 150kb or
less. On my kiddie-wheel set up the wheel bearing balls sit on the inner
pedal cone and does not fit too well. The wheel cone can be used without
modification but if the hole is big enough for the pedal axle...
Thanks,
Vi

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
