Rear Hubs
« on: 06 Mar 22, 06:59 am »
Hopefully this link to ebay will work and show the Hubs I like which have two clamp bolts and two grub screws on top of the key. They should help the key from falling out and provide a bit more grip to stop the hub from sliding along the axle.https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/255107927774?hash=item3b659e0ede:g:9c4AAOSw5ZJb0ZhS
These hubs fit the plates I made for the pit bike wheels from fun bikes.

If you can drive round corners, you're not going fast enough.

Thanks Jim

Really appreciated all your advice about wheels yesterday
I don't want to bore you all with the details, here. But if you are interested, have a look at my blog https://peteskart.blogspot.com/

Nice looking Hubs Jim. What have you made your adapter plates out of ; Ally or steel.

Wondering how they compare to the Gemini steel adapter plates.

Cheers Chris, I have made them from both, the ali ones were a bit thicker. The ali ones looked nicer because you have the width to turn some nice curves in. Gemini plates are 4mm and with removing the lip are nice and light. The one I brought to the meeting was 6mm with just over 2mm removed from the side. A bit heavier but the load is spread more.

Hi Jim
I now have my wheel and my hubs and definitely would like some of your adapter plates, please.

The wheel have those raised bits. I will measure and get back to you.
