new giraffe (third home built giraffe)
ok so sorry for the past few months of confusion but i have figured out all my sources and now i can build my runi and giraffe im using a 26 inch wheel with front disc hub and ive bolted the sprocket to it
so will be strong as it is all one piece hub im using three piece mtb cranks and my uni seat off my nimbus ill just swap it when i want to ride it,this uni might be 8ft as ive got a fair bit of steel ill be using some heavyass steel so frame wont bend or ill off centre it anyway... am starting welding on wedsnday. |

If you are not using the outer cranck ring try putting some rubber, ducttape or something over it.
Or replace it with a plain metal ring like a bashguard. You dont want to land or get caught on that while 8 ft in the air
