Wheel Conversion #2
Another view of the wheel assembly as installed. I knew that tire wear would be rediculously quick and hideously expensive to keep replacing if i kept the motorcycle wheels/tires. Harry's wheel design lasted two years until bearing seat failure due to high lateral loading of the bearing race seats under cornering. It was expensive, but i still saved some money in those two years, if i had been forced to buy motorcycle rubber instead at $280.00 a tire for ~2,000 kms of life. I still have this wheel around, just in case it can be repaired for some other project down the road.
