View Full Version : Let's have another go.
Having no further need for my GL as a dirt bike, which was hands down the best laugh per minute bike I've owned to date, I thought I'd just chuck slicks and nylon on it jacked up and soft as hell.
Got the CT90 wheel fitted up with a slick tonight. I'm out of action with a sore back at the moment, so that's quite the achievement as far as effort goes.
Only thing I haven't got sitting here to get it on track, is axle spacers to reduce the bearing ID on the CBR600 rear hoop...or a sprocket for the same wheel.
Anyone got a lathe I can turn some up on?
Draw me a picture.Will do in the morning.

...I have a lathe and cold beer and I could go and fuck a small piece of wood , in my shed, at any point in time...and get splinters...
Pulled the wheel out of the stack today. It's fucken heavy!
So I'm going away from that plan...kind of. I'm thinking of chopping the spokes and hub out of it, wrapping the middle with a strip of steel, drilling some holes and lacing it to the GL hub.

Use the heavy wheel and use the Catherine wheel fireworks method to get you started. As long as you keep the speed up you will be fine.

Being a motard, I wanna be able to slow the wheel quickly with a little bit of brake and engine braking. Heavy wheel makes that harder.
Mmmkay. Fucked that up. Luckily I've got lots of these wheels.
36 spokes, so I foolishly did the maths for 37 gaps between the spokes. Don't need to do that when it goes round in a circle. Caught that before I drilled any holes. But when I redid the calculations, I entered the circumference wrong in the calculator, and didn't recheck before I started drilling. Took quite some time to figure the spoke pattern out before realising the wrong number of spoke holes.

W.t.f, I understand the topic & I know the dude, but you have totally got me fucked as to what the end game is here. It's like trying to understand a Down's syndrome kid with a mouthful of ice cream.

they've moved on from icecream i'm told their new favourite is KFCwho've just put out a special 'window licking good' menu.
But I'm a cunt and don't want to shareYou're a lying cunt, since you sent the rim.
Cheers heaps bro.
So I've just gotta sort out what size spokes I need, assemble, and get someone to punt the thing along.
Young guy I work with won a B grade race on a normal bucket without using the front brake. Reckon I'll give him a whirl first.

Winning a race by having the opposition laughing so hard might still work in this situation ;)
