At least I found a good use for my Nextie 36er carbon rim.

That’s such different music from what we’re used to from your other videos… 
I like this a bit better, but can see why you choose harder stuff for muni videos. Muniing isn’t exactly laid back, after all.

Nice build Terry and your riding skill is awesome. Which ‘crank length’ do you have on a 36" UW? The rider in @Setonix video wrote in the youtube comments that 165mm are ideal. I put the pedals on the 155mm position of the hole selection bar, as @PedalSprell named it, and didn’t have time to test the other positions before giving it to @Setonix .
I also thought about a carbon UW, but I would glue carbon tubes in a # shape into the rim. Only the pedal sections require a fancy idea and some machining.

I wouldn’t necessarily go bigger to 165mm. We both managed to ride the wheel just fine. It took me 45 minutes to get used to the rotations before going 50 metres. The further the pedals are apart the bigger the rotation you have to make with your legs. Wouldn’t that be more tiring in the end?
110mm.

Here’s a rebuild of my 36er UW, and a short video showing me making my latest 26er UW with a carbon rim…and spokes! (Just cosmetic)
In the first clip of my 36er UW upgrade, you see me holding my left arm out in front of me in an awkward position, and that’s because I had my smartphone in an armband sleeve and I was talking into it to try to do narration while my hover drone was following me.
This video shows the making of my latest carbon rim 26er UW. A multi-day project condensed into just about 2 minutes.

Although the pedal mount is the most important part, I like your jigsaw jig most. The spokes look great.
