This is actually one of the best explained videos on how to make a DIY disk wheel. Thank you!

I'm glad that this tutorial is finally done, now you can start hanging out with your friends again!!

I'd like to add to the instructional, if I may. Just finished my 26" wheel and the results were sweet. When cutting out the "pizza slice" that allows the disc to form its conical shape, use the equation (everything is in degrees) D=360-{360sqrt[1-H/R]^2} will give you the degree of angle from the origin for your slice. D is the desired angle, H is the height from the rim to the hub, and R is the radius of the disc (I used the ETRTO when constructing mine, 559mm)

I loved how meticulous you were with attention to detail and all the precise measurements you made. If you're going to do something, might as well do it right!

love this video...thanks for teaching me how to make my bike look a lot better...keep doing what your doing

Don't understand why so many people leave meaningless negative comments. If u don't like the video, stop watching it. It may not be practical, but the creativity, effort, and engineering behind it is more than notable and appreciated. Cool stuff man. Keep it up.

You know, I'm gonna be honest, at first I thought this concept was stupid, but, as I watched more, it's actually really creative. I work with rolls of sheet metal which I cut into huge circles all the time, so I'm gonna try to make some out of sheet metal

Really cool video dude, I mean I would probably skip all of the geometry and have a mediocre result but with all the theorems, the result is much crisper looking. This was like 1/2 Math + 1/4 Arts and Crafts + 1/4 Bicycling -- really cool

I thoroughly enjoyed this. Thank you Jonathan!

it seems like you worked pretty hard on this, great job bro. Great job.

Next you want, next you're gonna be needing, next...

This is extremely well done! Spot on man.

Thanks for the great tutorial. I can't wait to hear what that freehub body sounds like with my new discs. I doubt anything will ever sound as cool as a Tioga Tension Disc, but maybe I can get close (I'm doing a Tomac replica bike with drop handlebars and barend sifters on a budget. I found the Tioga stickers on ebay, and I'm going to hand paint the geodesic webbing on a background of white. I can't wait! Great saturday afternoon project. Thanks for posting. Cheers!

Man, you make that look so easy, I think I'm gonna make three just for the fun of it.

No, it make it perfectly level. And the rake is pretty good! Idk what it is, but on my IRO, it made the front clearance decent!

Dude, that was pretty good. Thumbs up

This is the most fun ive had in math class!!

Yo you think having the forte fork can make the top tube slant down or balance out straight? My frame slightly slants towards the seat but just slightly. And I was thinking about buying that fork since its on sale at the local shop, and also hows the rake on that thing?

Thanks so much this help so much! How does a disk wheel feel with cross winds?

bro 4get what these people say haha what u did in this vid is original and sick i give u props....

I've never tried that! I bet that it holds up well.

And then, as you ride your bike, proud of your new cardboard disc wheel, it starts raining.

dude sickkk man. i love your bike

No prob dude! I've gotten hundreds of requests so I finally did it.

Great job man, disc wheel on a budget!

jdawg4334, I think it's nice to see a video maker take so much time to reply to so many comments, props!

Trick for a number of the parts -- for any rectangle, if you draw two diagonal lines connecting corners, the intersection is the center of the rectangle.

Music is chill. :) awesome tutorial bro :D

Great video dude, Your'e someone i look up to for sure.

well i just finished making a disc using ur instructions.. had to do a little modifications of my own but i got it to work pretty good! i live in hawaii so a disc isnt so common here xP but anyways thx for the vid i had a hell of a time making the covers XD

i had to use my geometry skills, easier than it seems really. cool vid dude! helped a lot.

nice vid! ill be doing this soon!

Really sick video :D it really helped out a lot! Keep up the good work:)

yeah man, with those theorems you used, that separates the noobs who want a disc wheel from the people who are serious with having disc wheels and are willing to do this work to have them (with no mistakes)

Good tutorial.everything is well explained. :)

@jdawg4334 i need help,Im going to buy a leader 725 frame. So i have to buy parts for it,i mostly know all the parts to buy and sizeing but what i dont know and really need help on is the hubs and bottom bracket. I do not know anything about them,i know what they are but i dont know the sizeing or which to buy. I looked up some hubs(resist hubs) but they have werid sizes like 38h. Also i do not know anything about the bottom bracket, i just need help on (hubs etc,bottom bracket etc&lockring etc)

Awesome bro!

nice... so sick and creative...

This worked thxs dude!

Why wouldn't it work?!!

Hahaha, I'm in there pretty often. :] I'm always getting spokes cut there! They've got that Phil Wood spoke cutter.

WELL DONE I LIKE A LOT !!! THANKS 4 SHARE UR IDEAS !!!

Sick broski!

My back rim is a 71mm deep v, do I still have to make the covers that size or can I just make the covers the size of the space left between my hub and where the deep v ends

@jdawg4334 what is the spacing between each hole on the snow shoes and disc??

I got the exact same drill bit set, dewatt is one of the best in my opinion

And then you ride with them and it starts raining. There go 1 week of my life

Are there and other things you can use for the snow shoes then just gift cards?

Hahaha, getting the covers prepped for the painting stage takes about 5 hours. Hahaha. Thanks man. :]

Discs are more aero than spokes, and a disc clad rear wheel is actually better than spokes in a cross wind. Making them from fluted polypropylene sheet 2mm equal very light discs. These flex a bit but work really well. Fitted my own to my mtb front and rear.

YAY FINALLY :D

cool video. try using coroplast sheets, the kind of stuff that lawn campaign signs are made of. you can get it at home depot in 3' x 6' sheets or at a sign shop.

FINALLY!

do the hardshells stop flats? i have gotten like 3 flats riding only like 200 miles with some conti grandprix 4000s

Well, the frame comes with a 1 1/8" steer tube and probably uses an internal headset. The BB will be standard 68mm English threaded, probably wana use a 108mm spindle or something, I'm too sure on that one, it depends on the cranks. Just get Omniums. And lockrings and cogs are all universally sized as far as I'm concerned. I'm pretty sure that the Resist hub is like, BMX crap, so idk if that's different. And as far as hubs, you just need a 100mm axel front and a 120mm axel rear.

Do all hubs have the same width? Otherwise you`ll have to cut off an arch with a different angle, to make the cone right, right?

Thanks man!

Hey jdawg, could i use corrugated plastic instead of cardboard to make it more durable?

what's the sound of the disc wheel? can you make it sound like a real one or pretty close to it?

what size drill bit did u use for the gift cards?

U save me 255$ thanks mate keep up the good job

should i get purefix straps or origin 8 straps?

@jdawg4334 Awesome video, it's a nice project if you have the material and time to do it. I always wanted discs on my bike since I was kid and I saw the rest of the kids in my neighborhood sporting them. I always wondered what if I used card board, which seems to work well, I had a idea to help with the weather proofing of the card board. I forgot the name of this product, but what it does is make a hard shell over what ever you spray/brush it on and it's water proof. Also try using resin!

Nice bike you have there!

yes, finally :D

Forgot to mention, I left the valve hole as a flap with a little pull string attached to it. I just think it looks cleaner that way. Thanks again!

How to dislike if we dont watch what the video is about..?

@James225

9 жыл бұрын

Because you can't dislike something you haven't watched. To do so would be ignorant as you have nothing to base your dislike on. It's simple logic.

It's been up for a couple of weeks now. :]

I started out on like, 44:14 or something like that, went to 46:17 for a while, did 52:17 for a month, 54:17 for a month, 54:16 for several months, 54:15 for several months, and now, I switch between ratios every couple of days depending on the riding I'm doing: 49:16, 55:16, and 49:13.

I used 5/32" but I've used 3/16" in the past. 5/32" was a tiny bit too small but it still worked.

It's really useful!!! I made one and simply copy so i can make many. I can change color or patern everyday with only little effort and money! It's really cheap ;D

Sorry but how many spokes holes is the front rim? I was told it isn't good to use a low spoke rim with a 32hole hub because when you lace it it will be off balance or something? I don't know forgot what the guy said.

@jdawg4334 i just need help on sizes, the hubs,bottom bracket,lockrings,cogs. Pretty much every thing thats attached to the middle of the rims.

Thanks man! :] I think that I'm going to sell the frame soon though and get me a Low Pursuit. ;]

do u know the distance between each hole? im lazy and i kinda messed one up a little thanks.

can u make a short video of how the zipties should look on the snow shoes?

Can i use them with my brakes? Or should i cut them smaller so the brake doesn't actually touch the cover? :)

Does laminating it sound like a great idea?

Thanks man! :]

is there a stronger material you can use instead of cardbord

I Ride A Custome Diamond Tubing Frame And Have A Front Brake and I Ride 48:15 Gear Ratio And I Found This Really Helpful Though Thanks for the tutorial

OMG THANK YOU BROOOOO

I bet these will look sick on my ride im thinking of getting a hypnoswirl thingy but im gonna try to do it with alot less geometry i did geometry last year and it sucked now im doing algebra 2 and it will suck harder

is it possible to make a smaller on to be able to break?

Explained really well. Instead of cardboard use corrugated plastic and cut out with exactor knife or razor blade. Wallmart, Target and HomeDepot etc carry it, some Longs as well.

It's actually not bad. Since you tape the outer perimeter and there's paint over the face, water actually doesn't affect it that much, unless it's heavy ass rain.

Aight. I'll probably do two bike checks. One of my Planet X and one of this one cause I was already planning on doing one of my Planet X. I gotta build this one up though, it currently has all of the components that were on my Planet X.

Awww! Thanks!

You made this so much more difficult than it had to be but I like your use of math

Bro which materials is used to make disc wheel cober

Shit nice bro how long did it last you ride with that

I would definitely buy some too!! Name your price, cut it in half and DOUBLE IT!

Yea dude, I'd be more than willing to do so! I work at a bike shop so I have boxes to my disposal. The only problem would be shipping it to you. Where are you located? I'm assuming that I could just like, cut off the sides of a frame box, put the covers inside, tape the frame box sides together and then ship it like that? Hahaha. Where you located bro?

Sweet!

Thanks man! Wrote that song myself. :]
