[jreid50]

I am looking for the fron wheel for a pocket rocket! Going on a rat rod mini! would like a 10" rim or close to it!

Y:smileu got a picture of what your needing ?

 

[mmisterbungl]

you talking about something like this? THis is an 8" I think....

 

[jreid50]

Exactly! Dont really trust a small wheel on front when going fast! The larger wheel is more stable!

I have a 10" wheel

 

[mmisterbungl]

what diameter axle are you running?

not always the case :wink:

I dont want to disagree, but why do you always see drag bikes with a bigger diameter rim on the front then the back! Stability! Less Rpm on the Wheel gives less chance for bearing lockup, vibration, tread seperation, and larger turning radius...and several other things! This comes from a buddy who drag race the big bikes...this is what he told me! I dont doubt you can go fast on a smaller front...I would just prefer a larger fron wheel! Thats a bad ass bike though mmisterbungl!!!

 

[mmisterbungl]

its not mine.

This is my buddy Chris on his bike! Serios power! 226mph on this run! Thats why I believe what he says....It may be about preference though! But you gotta trust what a guy like this tells ya about racing!

 

[jreid50]

I do value everyones opinion though! The more folks give the more informed a decision someone can make!

Hell yes ALWAYS go with taller tiers especially in the front.... Maybe a small easy to spin lightweight high leverage, small little slick biter in the back, spinning a million miles per hour... But ALWAYS a big wide smooth turning radius, WAY MORE centerfugal energy BALANCING the bike, low roll resistance, less likely to dart out from under you, taller front wheel when possible... Especially when going fast... Handling is 1,000 times better with bigger wheels.. ut:

where did you find 5/8 i.d bearing to fit that wheel? I've looked all over, even went to the local bearing supplier and they had no listings...

 

[vsn20099]

i used a dremel toold and grinded the hub of the wheel out for it to fit , looks great on the bike but i used a diffrent fork that olny holds a 3/8 axel.
