howdy folks... i got a worksman trike wheel at the local bike bone yard for $5 and i wondered if anyone out there has ever retrofit such a wheel for use on a two wheeler? thanks...
 
no, but the ones i've seen are the standard size rim and spokes, so you'd just have to re-lace a hub into it. if it's got the 11g. spokes, you'll either have to find a hub to fit (probably direct from worksman,) or drill one out yourself.

not too difficult, if you know what to do.

Finding the spokes will be the tricky part. Worksman only sells 4 sizes of 11 ga. If you are looking to get rid of the hoop only I might take it off your hands.

Cheers
 
i definitely want the hoop... might lace a moped rear hub to it... it does seem though that at 10mm axle fits snug inside the trike axle and maybe with some knurling and a press...? these spokes look like they might be 10 gauge, is that possible? also what is the best way to strip the chrome? the chrome is in pretty good shape and the brass wire wheel is taking ages with the angle grinder... thanks
 
I built a Worksman trike that I bought at Walmart and I just used the axel and mounted the free wheal from a bicycle and welded it to a sproket off a scooter and made a motor mount for the 4 cycle honda off a roto tiller. Will send some pictures this afternoon. .shft.
 
Here are some pictures. I just welded a sprocket to a bicycle freewheel and mounted it up.cvlt1
