Rocket Scooter

[Risk Man]

Thank you! I am gathering up period correct bits for my scoot. Want to get rear rim sorted. Picked up a set of drop center rims that I iwas going to use with a wizzer sheve that came with frame. Only problem is I would have to cut a really nice Colson rear fender. It seems that the style rim in your pix would place the sheve out side the fender. Identify know for sure. Any info on type of rear hubs were used. Not sure I'd a coster brake was used or not. I want to use a Monarch Supper Twin rear hub and ND .105 front bake.

Great bike and thread. With all due respect the "wizzer' is spelled Whizzer... Good luck with your build

Just for your information I know that just didn't catch it. Who knows what happened.

@Infared here’s my 4th Alexander scooter wheel

Thanks, I wonder if some sort of jig was used to center the two rims. The scoot Cream and green I belive in your archives had two rims of the same diameter sandwiched together. Did they come both ways?

I am taking the path of least resistance regarding rear rim. Won't know if it is wide enough till hub is laced in and fitted.

Waiting for these parts to come back. Paint on fork frame next. The Lauson engine I have is not period correct. This Johnson Iron is coming today.

Still sorting out rear rim on Rocket Scooter. Going in a different direction. Painted rim clashes with paint color way on fenders. I will have to wait for spokes to come back and paint on frame, fork and fenders to be completed. Then I will know if this will work or if it's back to the drawing board.

Cad bits back from plates. Missing a few bits. Hopefully they will find them.
