>>Michael,>>Seems everyone agrees! A hearty Congratulations!>>Sweet!>>SteveeStevee and all- Many thank you's ! I was just happy to get the thingup there and back let alone win anything. Now that my restrictions areflown off I wish I could give rides to all the guys building and on the discussion group to keep em' fired up. It's a long haul building a Pietbut I'm sure you'd agree that once it's done, it's all worth it.Mike C. ________________________________________________________________________________

Hi Brent: I'm going to burglarize your conversation here, as I have gone thru theprocess of building some "tall" wheels. It really isn't all that difficult.Build or buy the hubs and buy some rims that fit your size requirements. Frommy experience, check on the tire sizes available so that you don't buy a rimthat has a very slim tire selection to fit. Then have a motorcycle servicecompany "lace and true" your hub and rim with new spokes. I chose 9 gaugestainless steel spokes as they are incredibly strong---will pull 1000 poundseach. My costs are like this. $40.00 each for Honda Trail 90 front wheel assemblycomplete including mechanical brakes and axles. $95.00 each for lace, true andbalance with 9 gauge stainless spokes. Tubes & tires will run from$45.00-$150.00 depending on a wide number of choices.Best Regards,Warren________________________________________________________________________________
