Unicycle Hub
How could I convert a regular hub to a unicycle hub?
I'm planning on building a mini Penny Farthing bicycle this summer with a 700c wheel and some steel tubing, but I have no idea how I could convert a regular front or rear hub to a hub that has pedals attached to it. Aside from buying a unicycle hub, what are some solutions? I am NOT looking to buy a Unicycle Wheel set or hub, I am just looking for a way to cheaply convert an old Road Bike wheel.
Check out this page which has scans from an old magazine that discusses modifying a standard hub to work as a unicycle hub.
