I'm debating between buying a trike or building a trike from a Schwinn 10 speed bike. I bought a set of Jr.dragster rear wheels and am thinking of using lawn tractor tires on them. The hubs for the wheels have a 1 1/4" keyway/clamp setup. I can buy a 5/8" freewheel adapter, and 5/8" x 1 1/4" bearings for the "free" wheel. I would need to have a bushing made for the drive wheel.
As the tires will add about 20-25 lbs., I would like to save as much weight as possible. I thought rather than use a solid axle, i would go with Chrome moly. My question is, what wall thickness should I go with?
