corrugated plastic. cut big circle. cut v out of big circle attach to spokes with tie wraps. get puncher. realise you have no hole for the valve.scream and shout for a few minutes. go to pub and fuck bike right off for 4 weeks. try again from the top.

If you cut a V out of a circle it will not be a circle when joined right?
Might need a slight snail-shell shape.

Ratboy · 21st July 2008

Cut large circle, cut hole for hub and valve access, cut thin triangle to make the disc 'cone' (work out the maths first) - cut some more small holes around the edge to help you zip tie to the spokes.
