These rims are cheap and plentiful and have there own brakes. I use them on the wood gear with the straight axle. They have easily more than 1500 landings on them.> ________________________________________________________________________________Date: Mon, 03 Mar 2014 12:10:02 -0600

I replaced the bearings with bronze bushings with 1.5" inside diameter. The break plate is machined for a piece of 1.5" I.D. Scaffold tubing and welded in. The brake lever is shortened. I can help you thru it with sketches if you want.Sent from my iPadOn Mar 4=2C 2014=2C at 7:09 AM=2C "larharris2 Harris" wrote:=0A=0A=0AI am studying the same.
