This shows most of the items needed to make the Vuong rear wheel setup. As well as 2 x 355 size tyres, tubes, rimtapes and wheels there is a set of replacement bearings, a bearing tool, 75mm aluminium unicycle cranks and matching wheel shafts. I had the wheel shafts custom made to my design and have some in the cupboard. |

The bearing tool in use. It has a taper setup to allow it to press against the existing bearing spacer so the spacer and bearing can be removed. |

Near the end of the bearing swap, this setup with an old bearing, large bolt and washer is to tap in the new bearings. |

Bearing swap done, all that remains is to turn a bit off the length of the wheelshafts. |

Hi
As you can see, I have been quite busy on the trike. tomorrow I should be able to put the wheels on the frame, but there is still a steerer to be made and the seat to finalise. All for now!
