that is really cool! does the handle feel stiffer?
Some sort of ultra-bright LED bike light right?
That looks about ideal if you use the regular handle with no brake, hope it doesnât overheat there though with our slow speeds and the sheltered position.
Whatâs the beam like? Shouldnât be too much leg shadow.
Yep - thatâs home-made too - put together over 5 years ago back when you couldnât buy a light with similar performance. Hereâs some better piccies of that Triple Cree XR-E bike light / head light | Candle Power Flashlight Forum (though the electronics have been upgraded a bit since then). See the huge heatsink on the back - itâs overkill for biking, so shouldnât be a problem with overheating. The ziptie passes through the slots at the front edge of the heatsink for mounting.
Not tried it properly yet - only for 100m up and down a track - but I think the leg shadow shouldnât be too big a problem. I certainly didnât notice it on that test, though it had been really obvious with a previous more temporary mount I used which put the light about an inch further back. The extra inch forwards ought to make quite a difference. Iâll get a beamshot when Iâm next out.
Oh, and knoxuni - I donât think it makes the slightest bit of difference to the stiffness of the handle 
I need to sort a better mounting position for my light on my uni.
Iâm running a modified Magicshine MJ808 (900 lumen) attached to the right hand side of my frame, I get a lot of leg shadow but I have got used to it.
Soon Iâm hoping to have a T-bar setup to mount it on along with my cycle computer but I still need to improve the beam shape on it so itâs not lighting up trees and blinding drivers quite so much.
Finally got a start on Mr. Big and Tall, but after looking at what I had created I am thinking that Mr. Momentum has a nicer ring too it. I have to thank Nathan for giving me the donor rim.
Rim came out to a whopping 3270g. If I follow through with the plan tire should be in the 2650g range 3.7" wide and about 39" tall. Once rolling this thing wonât stop for anything, except maybe an uphill grade 
OMG this is going to be SICK
Better get working on that tire, fire season is just around the cornerâŚ
I canât wait to see how this turns out. Are you sewing together a couple of Larrys? What are you doing about a frame?
The plan is to sew together a couple Origin8 Devist8ers and probably make the frame out of square steel tubing (or whatever is laying around when I get around t it)
nothing about this thing is going to be light, hence the name change.
Someone over at the mtbr forum suggested I make a fat Penny Farthing, needless to say I am considering it. (thinking trials wheel for the back)
Penny-riffic
Eric, that would be awesome! A fat penny with your monster tyre on the front and a 19" trials on the back would be sweet, freak bike style! Looking forward to watching your progress.
One day iâd like to build a 36"/16" mini penny in a design similar to my 29"/12", but I think a full size penny is on the cards first thoughâŚso many toys! 
brake mount & polymorph
This is a brake mount made from the adapted section of a redundant projector mounting extrusion.
The lever end is âpolymorphâ a plastic that comes in pellet form and softens in hot water to a mouldable mass which then sets hard. Any shape you like 
How well does polymorph work? Always wanted to try making a spooner from it.
This is my first try but it feels OK
Once itâs on you are stuck with the shape you have moulded. The curve and the relief on the underside of the lever hold it in one plane. The feel is soft and waxy so you might want more grip.
Need to cut it off once set and not remouldable. (I havenât tried it in the blender yet.;))
Project finished Weight is 5,73 kg⌠could still loose someâŚ
Got a build list for that?
Marco,
Where did you get that hub? Inbound 125mm Nimbus, early release 100mm Nimbus, or a QuAx?
Iâm getting 29 and 29 wheels with disc hubs, should be here in a week or soâŚ
Its a custom made hub. It was a Nimbus hub earlier, got one flange moved inside and welded on the disk-mount.

that is super sexy!!!
Nice 
That rim is light!!! Do you notice much of a difference in the width of that rim verse a kh rim?
