hi everyone.

These are the wheels that im going to use for my mini chopper, i got them from princessauto which are used for those stnad up trollys, the one u see moovers using. I was just wondering if anyone knew how i would attatch the sprocket to these tires without welding it to the rim.

here are the pics of the rimb and tire, its a tube tire.

You bolt it on. I believe with a hub of somekind. Thats how mine works.

:confused: ooo, am i supposed to weld it on the hub or just put some kind of spacer? Im thinking of buying a new wheel, but i know some of you guys know how, so i thought to ask.

if you havea closer pic of your rear wheel set that would be all the help i need
thanks

those wheels are pretty cheap, you could use them but expect to be replacing them. i used to have them as the front wheels on my go kart, the bearings would usualy wear out BUT i was using them on a very bumpy track and if i drove it on concrete the tires would wear out rather quickly.
Another problem we had was that the bearing housing would seperate from the wheel itself but we just welded them together and it prolonged the life of the wheels for a bit good luck!

you need a double flanged hub for your wheel.
