Go Fast Square Wheels

got some messages that the site has been a bit serious lately but not in a dead parrot or fish kind of a way that it used to be, thought id start a offkey eccentric thread for the bored types to get a double start on

some background:

anywhoose as were moving on "we've" found a way to make some go fast square wheels that are 30% faster than other wheels as well as being 34% stronger, 15% puncture proof and they last longer as well .. they've got bolts in them you see.

any requests for custom shapes and go fast suggestions put them here price is good we can do these for 130lbs vat

will add some more pics and videos as time permits





the triangular wheels tend to push and pull out of the ruts where you need 30mm offset tripples and the octagonal ones were just so fast they melted the squat in the swingarm

so we take a paddle tyre and put 4 50mm x 6mm bolts into each paddle

this stops the paddles being ripped off

but it kills the tubes

we tried running them as tubeless and using 8 self tappers each side to hold the bead out but after a few times taking the tyre on and off the bead doesn't seal anymore

so the latest is to put a huge michy mousse tube in there

it takes about 4 hours lots of swearing and lots of beer

pics and vid tomorrow sleep tight

interesting huscan

bit like this on the outside?



the hillclimbers use that kind of trick and or big tiptop truck tyre patches or dobs of sikaflex over the inside of the bolts to protect the tube

my brother had no problems with this kind of setup on a 3.5 inch wide rim since the bolts are away from the sidewalls but on my narrower rims the tube gets pinched between the bolts and the sidewalls

ive tried the sikaflex and an UHD bridgestone tube it (tube) was 4kgs 8O 8O my mate gave me huge heavy duty truck tyre patches 6mm thick I used 2 on top of each other and csk bolt heads .. still got pinch punctures

the way the bike feels with a really lightweight tyre is very addictive and my bolted paddle only weighs 4.5kgs 8O

close ups of the bolts, they really do work !!



this tyre has done over 3000km including 6 months on the back of a hayabusa with 160hp

note ample silicone grease spanner.. it stops chafing with the fishnets when you forget to wax



detail of the inside with washers



a newer paddle i tried with 2 bolts per paddle close up of the holes .. its still a cheng shin c899 but a newer molding and weighs 5.5kgs with no bolts .. nasty thick rubber.. no feel!


only 2 bolts in the middle was better for punctures but i still got them and the paddles started to crack off



didn't get the whip out... what about this one?



I have a video converting on vimeo.. got pissed off with youtube there are about 400 friggen google usernames in our household couldn't log in then which password? its all too hard

ok knobby vid

you say your having problems with bolt heads in the tyre puncturing your inner tube , well im not surprised with them 13mm bolt heads in there 8O 8O .
have you not thought of trying coach bolts they have smooth heads so there should be no chance of pinching your tube

im no good at adding links but if you go on ebay and type in coach bolt theres loads of different ones on there

cheers kris

Hi Kris

yes even tried nice CSK head bolts that protrude even less than coach bolts the problem is the same ... the paddle protrudes so much and also contains the bolts so whatever you use still pinches the tube between the paddle and the sidewall when you strike a rock with the paddle, tried coach bolts and csk heads with 1/2" inch of sickaflex over the top and a 4kg tube .. its still the same problem hence the hex heads surprisingly they make no difference at all.

a 3.5" wide rim doesn't have these problems because the bolts miss the sidewalls completely.

cheers

Showed the video to some friends. One of them has a very nice 650, the other hates 'Bergs. (He's a Honda guy for some reason.)

The 'Berg guy asked "why did he put the big bore in if he isn't gonna give it proper gas?" I told him it was to not scare the Honda guy.

or so you don't have to rev it :wink:

Well I've seen it all now what's next mate a home built frame ? Back shed head gaskets ? Non rotating rotating thruppit sleeve to contain melted swing arm squat ? Nj 207s in a pre 09 motor ? Get off the crack mate seriously it's not worth it besides when that sucker ejects a paddle you won't need grease or fishnets. And everyone knows dodecahedral tyres go the fastest only of they're painted red. :roll:

So is the new moulding 20% lighter and gives you 32.5% more stuff, I think you need to file .047" off your clutch lever to effect the full benefit of more stuff.

why do i have to put up with these attacks on my backyard motorcycle work .. now you're the tart who's got her monthly and just flinging poo at the drawbridge... im lowering the pottycullis and releasing the wrath of the squat brigades canons

i can't decide now if the site is healthy or not :cry:

little jump at the start then a top gear full throttle roll on

in the other paddle vid on the first page there is brief WOT at about 10, 25 and 30 sec

what bolloks and trollip ...... you do know I have basically written the entire site ? and therefore by rejecting your reality to substitute my own content I deserve to be able to sell whatever I find in the rusty spam tin under the couch for twenty million lbs vat.

Ive just spent all last months overdraft on whiskey and a batch of mmx conrods Spanner designed but ive added 200mm to the length and fitted my own bisalloy little end bushes .... just trying to help .. ive always had a thing for the length of another mans rod. they will be on ebay shortly

the new development for the garden shed is a self cleaning pottycullis with a towel rail to make it easier for for borat and his cack handed foreplay ive left the moat in place as it provides a brill spot for him and oxana to hang out and somewhere to chuck old cams and soforth

these are some squat induction rimlocks we have had made on the CNC in nearby mastyshire, best used with a valve spring
