Rich is expendable. We should get him onto producing carbon wheels for us bucket racers.

Before we get all excited about sacrificing Mr Ban.

Frits what is the life span of the CF rims, and how well do they perform when someone hits a pot hole or ripple strip?

the billet wheel car comment was in regards to them having blanks of a suitable size to modify.

If you follow this post click on arrow after Husaberg it will lead you to the chassis thread where there is a write up for the most part done by the man who made a few wheels.

I had this Dave brought them up on a previous thread they belong here more then the 2 stoke thread.

interesting stuff bellow the breasts as well 3 vs 5 spokes alloy vs carbon fibre why the original Astralights were stopped, solid vs spoked etc

While we are on the subject of wheels. Any ideas on a cush drive i have come up with a few but the main question is do i really need a cush drive on a 100cc bucket?
The rim i am using is an adapted 3.5x17 front wheel.

below is a few ideas i have stolen. My original idea was similar to the Aprilia and the bottom one.But now i see the SL100 Honda had bolt on pegs i kind of are leaning towards an hybrid of them both system.

He'd probably make yours 18"

No matter what he did mike would claim it was too big.

Dads 74 TZ350 did not have a cush drive in the rear wheel, only in the clutch.

Did it have spoked wheels? i always assumed they would give a little.

I have read some stuff on the net that suggest the system i origional wanted to use.
An oversize hole with a rubber metal bush and stud direct to the wheel was used on Morris mags in the 70's with a sandwich plate to stop the wobble of the sprocket,
but this system reputably on lasts 100 miles or so. On the site i was on the guy binned them and reported no problems with solid mounting on cast wheels with H1 Kawasaki's.

73-74 tz350

[husaberg]

73-74 tz350

I know they did STD but race bike's are rarely std for long Like those front brake although they were great. they used to biff em.
Come to think of it no TZ350 would have come with anything but wire wheels std.

This is the system (attached below) Mostly (Sl100 Other are similar) plus a acesory flange for RS125 with marchesi? -sp wheels i have came up with using as many Honda parts as possible.

The other is the Uniflow 100 from years back maybe someone can explain it for Frits and the other non Kiwis the story behind it's construction?

There was a new arrival at Husaberg Manor this afternoon. it is so tasty it looks like someone has taken a chunk out of one of the chassis rails

Thanks Crazy scott Bert and Muzza B for sorting the freight i will sort you out for a Beer or Three when she makes the track.( maybe a Chocky fish as well)

funny coz its true.

Mikes would be a little brittle.

Sketchy runs a front on the back of his bucket with no cush and a mountain bike rear break. He has no problem going super fast.

There was a guy down here a few years back doing the same, didn't cause him any problems

I don't know. But I would steer away from second-hand rims, both carbon-fibre and magnesium. You never know what they've had to put up with.

I did take a look at your chassis thread; haven't had time to read the full 18 pages yet, but I certainly will.
The Waddon frame is not bad but I think it could do with more direct (rigid) connections between the steering head and the outsides of the sing-arm axle.
I would definitely prefer building a new frame rather than cutting up an existing one. As an example of a simple, light, easy to build and rigid frame I would suggest the layout below. Frames like this one are used in German 50 cc and 85 cc races. So far, perfect score. Notice the rake angle and the forward mass distribution.

No

Hey TZ instead of cutting the frame on your bucket , here is a 3LN already modified

Hmm seems you're a bit further on than me

Guess I should pull it out from under my desk and get on with it.
Oh and a big thanks to Leed for putting me on to a Japanese proxy bidding service, I now have several parts I was unable to source in NZ
