Either way, it fell apart completely. I was able to get down the street and around the corner before the one wheel flat-spotted and stopped dead. So I walked with it to the grocery store and picked up some things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the way back I tried to take advantage of the extremely flat freshly paved road near the grocery store, but that wasn&#8217;t going to save the wheel. It was already too far gone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One could have seen this coming from a mile away. I certainly did. I just wanted to see exactly how bad it was.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The general idea is that I will make a mold with silicone that I can use to cast wheels in resin or urethane or something more durable later. That will be the real test of these snaking wheel designs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yup!
