New MAJACRAFT Wheel! INTRODUCING....
LUNA
Luna is a distinct design departure from other Majacraft wheels while still retaining the quality and functionality that spinners expect from Majacraft. It is made of bamboo both for its unique look, strength and stability. Despite the apparent small size, all the spinning dimensions are the same as other Majacraft wheels. Same pedal angle and separation, same effective spinning height and yet all in a very compact package!
The Luna crank system is based on the Little Gem but has some new twists. Thanks to the reorientation of the drive wheel, the spinning experience is incredibly stable. The scotch tension is both very simple to use and common to Majacraft wheels.
The Luna has a laminated drive wheel with a hardboard center. This allows the drive wheel to be both quite heavy and mechanically stable and this will give it extra inertia for a very smooth spinning experience. Luna has been designed to fit Majacraft’s range of pulleys, flyers and bobbins.
The wheel comes with four standard black bobbins and uses a round orifice fine flyer.
Features:
- Uses special Majacraft cast hinges
- Ratios extend from 5.9 to 16.7 with the standard pulley
- JCB bolts used in most structural connections for simple assembly and beautiful smooth lines
- Uses the dependable scotch tension for smooth and easy spinning.
- Primarily constructed in beautiful and environmentally friendly bamboo
