flash22 Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 wheels are fine as long as you use ball bearings on the fronts and keep the rears tight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

n_d_fox Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 Would be interested on wheel options if anyone has ever found anything that works with the LB... i got hold of some hex adaptors for the rear but i'm told the fronts are a paint in the bum cause of them housing bearings !?!? I've seen a few on YouTube running different wheels but you can never tell what they are or where they've come from. Cheers, Nige Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flash22 Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 i have thought this through due to the stresses caused by the size and width of the wheel it will need 2 bearings 5mm id bearing 5x10x5 or some thing simlar i have some 9/16 hex whats just over 14mm reduce the first 4-5mm by 1mm on all flats that will give you a 12mm hex on the front face, bore the back face 10mm for 3/4 of the lenght (17-18mm over all) use 2 bearings with spacer inbetween need to get a new mill at some point i only have my lathe at the mo whats a pita when you want to make things Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

n_d_fox Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 So what did you change on the LB Jason ? I've been looking on eBay and there are bomb loads of nice looking off road wheels if this works well with most. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

preppeller Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 You have to be a bit careful with tyre choice on the front as they need to be quite rounded to allow for the crappy suspension "dynamic camber" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
