Custom rim production

[gibbed]

I would purchase at least 1 set of the 16" rims. Can they be drilled for 32H?

It's really hard to find the 16" rhynolites.

The prototype 16 inch rims I have now are 32 hole.

Dammit Matt, what color are you gonna anodize these? I'm also interested in 24" rims. It's like you are cornering the market in high performance Ebike paraphernalia.

I think you should get a website up so that if someone wants to know where to find the sickest of the sick , than I can just guide them onto your site for thier viewing pleasure.

Show us some pics!! :lol:

Well, he has a site:
http://www.recumpence.com/
just doesn't advertise it here, I guess.

 

[recumpence]

My web site is merely a framework.

Honestly, I do not have time to put into the site.

Oh, the main reason I did not make any 24 inch rims is because the "Large Marge" rim is available in that diameter.

However, I can get 24 inch rims made. I have to order 100 rims at a time for a production run, though.

I am trying to figure out the best rims to have made. I know 20 inch rims appeal to others beyond E-bike guys. The 24 inch is a good size for unicycle guys as well.

Hmm, have to think about this more.

I just wish I had more time to devote to the E-bike market without making my other business suffer.

I do enjoy all the research and prototyping, however.

And i think i speak for all when i say, " we thoroughly enjoy watching you Pototype" Matt

Put me down for a 24 in if yiou ever get them made....ONLY if they have a 'Recumpence" sticker though

I have to take a few pics and post them, I know. Sorry for the wait. There is not much to show, however. They are just aluminum rims. But, what would be good is to post a picture of the 16 and 20 inch rims next to standard one inch wide rims to see the difference.

Oh, I have one set going to the powder coater today with my trike frame to be coated yellow and cleared.

Here are a couple rim pics.

You can see the front rim against the stock rim. The front rim is nearly twice as wide as the stock rim. The rear rim is even wider than that. It is exactly twice the width of the stock rear rim.

I am boxing up a few rims today to be black anodized. These rims in the pic (and one more front rim) are already at the powder coater for some "Safety Yellow" and clear.

Ah yes, very good job sir! Are these pinned or welded? Glad to see some options opening up

very purty, me like. safe for whom? yellow in your case would mean yield to oncoming etrike traffic

Matt,

I am wondering how the rims are going?

I would like to get a set of 20" wide rims 36 hole for the pirelli ML75 http://www.us.pirelli.com/en_US/browser/attachments/pdfCatalog/moto/ML%2075.pdf

They come in a 2.5 and a 2.75 width.

Any idea how wide they need to be and how much a set would be?

 

[recumpence]

They are currently $65 per rim. They are a touch over 47mm wide. I have 32 and 36 hole in stock.

Shipping is $18 to the US.

i'm using the Pirelli Ml75-2.75" wide with 47mm wide rims. they hold on quite well.
