I was thinking about a project like this. If I was to do it I would use a Fatcat Or bigwheel rear wheel. They are wide and have built in brakes and sprocket. They are about $100 but you get brakes,hub and sprocket. How much would you spend on those?

Not sure of the sprocket choices though. You would have to make a slot on the swingarm to hold the expanding brake. Pretty simple install and everything is tight.

btw, there's some sort of serial number on this bike, it's basically all a stripped frame but on this sticker i can make out where it says

"If you write to us about this article or
If you order replacement parts for ________ please
mention this model and serial number
MODEL
361258 NO. 00003246"


anyone have any clue as to what brand mini bike this is, so i can get the right axles and stuff for it? if not i guess i'll just do my best to fab a custom jobby.

Click to expand...

i have no idea, haha. this is kind of a hobby thing, so probably not too terribly much. right now i'm looking at the cheapest options, what will fit on my frame, etc.... and then going from there. i don't really want it to get too expensive cause i know it's just a toy and it will most likely take a pounding from me... not really into showing go carts or anything, so i just want it to be fast, fun, and relatively cool.

i'm not sure if i'm going to put a swingarm on it yet or not. it would probably ride better, but i mean, it's a mini bike, so it's not like i need many creature comforts. just something to tear around on. haha :p
