Re: pic: Omni Idea
The way it's shown, I think it would come apart after the first side load. You can't take away the rim band and leave each spoke alone to withstand the torsional twist and bending it's going to get. But I was thinking maybe you could take a 1/16 metal/alum flat bar strip and wrap it around and loop it through those pvc's, then rivet them to the flats left on the rim band, it might hold up. But the pvc is too slippery alone. So I'd go get some rubber hose - whose ID was that of the PCV od. Then glue that on the PVC. You might have an OK omni. Or you could split the PVC, wrap it around the wheel rim without cutting the rim. Then glue on the hose again with the splits offset. I dunno, but applaud your thought process. G/L
