FXR wheels

[Pumba]

Wow, looks like rims got quite expensive, I use to pay no more than $100 a pair + freight. Didnt want any tyres on them, they are usually rooted anyway and just more weight to freight. (And usually had slicks to mount anyway). Nut would expect to get axles, spacers etc, and sprocket carrier. Discs were a bonus.

I have always been of the same opinion

Well I've started the rear conversion of the FZR250 wheel to the Bike. I'm going to run the FXR axle. Pulled the bearings out to change as the axle of the fxr has a larger diameter, will have to machine up a few spacers. Looks at this stage the same brake disc can be used, same size as the fxr. Don't know about the sprocket yet. Seems as it has to many teeth compared to the FXR one by 11 teeth. I'll keep you posted on progress.

Hardly understood that, but on kart track you will need super low gearing. Big rear & small front. Check what others are running, road will be too high.

Sorry about that but this is all new to me at this stage. I can use all the help I can get! Cheers

Thanks to all who gave me advice over the past week. I have just finished machining and fitting FZR wheels to my fxr. Not to hard really! Just have to fit the slicks and I'm racing next meet. Thanks to all.
