Blowerbike,
Back to the store for tube and sheet metal screws.. Does anyone know where I can get bigger stones?
Curt

i never did like a spoke wheel...the looks yes...having to keep a check on the tube and the added weight for a rear...no.
if you could have picked up say a 4x18 PM rim...that would have been tubeless and much more user friendly.
just my opinion and i have ran both types.

The rim I have is a aluminum 5 spoke factory... Still need a tube?
Curt

[blowerbike]

ohhhhhhhh...
17 or 18?

[blowerbike]

ok i went back and read your 1st post.
the "akront" part threw me.
if you have a tubeless rim then no you don't need a tube.

just mark the tire and rim and check it to see if it slips much if any.

Thanks Terry...

i never screwed my tires i mark the rim and tire with a a paint marker and have never had one spin on the rim bike has been high 8ts in QTR [ just my experence with them ] i have a RC comp rear rim 6.0 inches and run 7.5 slick tubeless
http://www.rccomponents.com/dragprod...ged_wheels.htm . as for the wheelie bars being 1.5 inches you have to take into consideration the tire wrinkeling at the inital launch on the weight transfer. with the old 8.5 goodyear i used to keep them maybe an inch because the tires had a very short sidewall what a great tire couldnt believe it when they were discontinued
here is a pic of me on one of my bikes { yes have a GS to LOL} leaving the line you want front wheel about an inch off the ground having someone there to take pics of you leaving and looking at your 60 ft times really helps setting up chassis

i thought he had a "wire" wheel.
i never screw tires to a "tubeless" wheel.
if my bike has enough power to spin the tire on a "tubeless"wheel then i run a beadlock.

I know what you mean about surprising folks. in the early 80's I built this mid to High10 second H1500 with a little help from Fast by Gast . The sound they make is unforgettable . I had a sticker on the rear fender that said " Do you mind if I smoke?"
