    That trueing stand is huge! Beautiful craftsmanship. I rode a high wheeler once, I’d been on bicycles my whole life and as an adult the joy felt was the same as first learning to ride a “safety” bike. Very fun.

    Классная мастерская. С удовольствием хотел бы поработать там и научиться у мастера ремеслу. И интересно было бы покататься на таком велосипеде.)

    I wish I try to ride a penny farthing someday, heh.
    It's like unicycling on my 29"uni but with much, MUCH larger wheel.

    What operation are you performing about 9:30 minutes into the video when running a roller around the wheel between the tire and rim. Are you attempting to seat the tire into the rim?

    Dan, why does the pipe not go spaghetti curly in the big bender? Does the action force it to remain straight?

    • @pennyfarthingdan
      @pennyfarthingdan Před měsícem

      Absolutely perfectly aligned dies so the pressure applied from the radius of the die is symmetrical so it equalises the forces.

    Hi Dan, glad to see you! I have a creative experimental idea for you, why don't you create a penny-farthing, but so that the front wheel is only the leading one, and the steering wheel is made small by using cables, as is done on modern cargo bicycles. The front wheel will be the leading one, but it is fixed with the help of additional horizontal feathers, completing a full-fledged dropout. Moreover, I suggest that instead of a simple bushing, put a 3-step planetary one so that you can at least rest and not pedal all the time. And that in the dry balance, we will get a comfortable, safe bike, but at the same time with the advantage and feeling of a penny-farthing, a sense of flight and freedom.

    I didn't know you could get that extruded aluminum to make wheels from. Hmmmmm.

      It’s my own custom made design and production, specifically for big wheels.

      Depends on the type of bike he builds. But it can go as high as $8,000. Check out his website in the description for more information.
