BillTodd:
Three weeks ago a friend called 'round to pick up the guitar amp I'd fixed for him , then he started talking about his unicycle ....


The result of the conversation is this gear unicycle hub . Thought you might be interested:

Joules:
I do love those angle grinder gears.

Cheap too  :D  five and a half quid for a pair, on ebay ! 

One problem I found is that they're hardened which makes them a bit of a B'stard to turn  ('though carbide will cut them)

Tapping head anyone?

Joules:
You really need to grind them to final size, used them in RC turbine helicopter gearbox's, and balanced them too.   :dremel:  is your friend.

Did you also notice that the full mesh is off centre.

I do like your tapping head example, is that a project under construction, and will the drawings be available ?

Ah-ha! No. I didn't, but that would explain the poor meshing  :doh: (not a great problem on a unicycle hub )

Do you have any measurements ?
