@Basbekema It is what used to be used for fencing. The old number 8 wire. I found the modern high tensile fencing wire was difficult to join reliably. The wire I use is medium tensile and can be welded or brazed more reliably.
I was having trouble getting the rubber so I got moulds made by a loca...

@gargoreg I am used to this arrangement as I have been riding Ordinaries for many years. I have found the best way to bail off this type of bike is if you see a problem coming you can't avoid, jump down off the back.
The bike in video has 21 gears from donor mountain bike so has no trouble gettin...

How to make elderflower champagne
I make elderflower champagne every year. This is how it's done.

commented:
@jonathanwallace I always use plastic soda bottles. Easy to tell when ready as they get firm. I have never had one burst. It takes enormous pressure to burst them and the end result would be a split bottle not glass everywhere. The screw top means you can release the pressure gradually too.

@l0bstar The tensioner in this video is a replica of a Weinmann machine I made. I found it cumbersome so I designed a new one that can be bench mounted and has a separate piece where the brazing occurs, See my other video. Sizes are correct.

@ChubaWubbaBubba Having ridden and raced recumbents for 20years I can assure you a 20inch wheel is just fine on normal road surfaces. We used to race on English cobblestone streets without problems. Have a look at the IHPVA website to see the stability of small wheeled cycles at 100kmh plus.
