Don' say it can't be fixed...

Rather just fix it anyway!

This guy understands redneck engineering even if he is in russia!
Wooden wheel with cable actuated pliers disc brake!
Top THAT!
He probably has to wet the rim periodically to tighten up the joints...wood drys and shrinks over time and the wheel will get loose. My grandpa taught me that trick for his wooden wagon wheels.

No can't top that.

I bet the price was right on those parts...

Too bad the old Soviet Union went out of business. That would be real Red Neck engineering! Sorry, I couldn't help it. It was just sitting there waiting to be said.........

Well there, Hoss, that thar's a mighty fine bi-sickle ye got. Can't beat them ol' waggin wheels fer bein' sturdy. No siree. Ye'll never git a flat with one o' them. An' them thar pliers got a buttload o' grip to 'em. Make ye some bodacious brakes. Hoo doggies!
