That was a question for the been there done that group.I would like your advice.While I'm at it you will have noticed the spoked wheel I had planned to use for the front wheel.In other discussions on this forum about wheels etc comments have been made that bicycle wheels are not up to the stresses likely to be inflicted through lateral forces.What advice do you have about that issue?
Use the angle grinder as you would have more control. In fact you could clamp the angle grinder to a bench/table and control your work even more. Bicycle wheels are ok for front wheels as the lateral forces you are referring to normally only occur on the rear wheels.
