Build my first set of H1 wheels. Came out nice looking. They're stupid heavy lol (more traction) lol yes those are hockey pucks I used to get my even spacing. They get used a lot lol
It was, just cant tell in picturesClean off that paint off the metal before welding. Use a respirator as that paint is super toxic. And, need clean metal for a good weld. You sure as heck don’t want to breath those fumes from that toxic ass paint on those H1 wheels.
Those are in the build plans for sure@77GreenMachine and I will both agree that you need some rock rings.
I broke way too many of those valve stems. I got really good at keeping a spare ready to thread in when I busted them on the trail. Philip did what I shoulda done and added rubber valve stems and welded rock rings on.
I wondered about doing this, good info. So use a stepping bit to keep hole centered to 5/8?drilled out the square hole to 5/8” with a step bit and used a common valve stem.
Yeah gotta get those and the PVC inserts ordered soon. Rock rings from TWF

You don’t necessarily need the PVC inserts from TWF. You may can find some pipe to cut to fit or if you come across the magnesium run flats, you can cut those down for a more budget minded option.Yeah gotta get those and the PVC inserts ordered soon
if you come across the magnesium run flats
I've been looking but no luckYou don’t necessarily need the PVC inserts from TWF. You may can find some pipe to cut to fit or if you come across the magnesium run flats, you can cut those down for a more budget minded option.
This is what I did years ago, back when people were throwing them away.
Well I'll have to call around I reckon, the TWF are kinda steep with shipping and allYes you could go to any pipe store and purchase PVC pipe and have them cut them to length for you for a perfectly straight edge. They would probably even hook you up with some scrap pieces from other cuts.

True, I did my research and these 3/8 centers are plenty strong from both sources that sell them, including TWFFYI, in the future, I would avoid flat centers. The pressed ones are way stronger, it's surprisingly easy to bend the centers when they're flat like that.

Yep this was my findings as wellYou're going to be around $1600 for a length of 18" sch 40, no one is just going to have it laying around sadly. And considering how hard it is to get a square cut and bevel on something that size...twf inserts aren't such a terrible deal.
