Thanks Nique,I had a thinksy about weight but I still reckon that they can handle it more than well enough...... "She'll be right mate".... Being a single cast alloy rim I wouldn't be surprised if they could handle a hell of a lot more load than what they currently experience. I reckon they would handle a heavy landing better than the supports used to mount them. I guess you could well use the same argument on Go-Cart wheels in the fact that they only have relatively low loadings on them as well.Anyway, I should stress (unintentional pun), that I am in no way a structural engineer when it comes to these wheels etc, I personally will look into using them in the future though.CheersPaul

I am using three small ones on a 582 rotax single seat & Three of the larger pocket bike wheels on a two seater I am however putting biger bearings in the mains to take a 9/16 shaft I did a destructive test [spat one out of the lathe] on the bigger ones & it bent extencivly but didn't fracture this shows the quality of the alloy & was good enough for me Butch S.

Butch,When it was spat out from the lathe it would have done so under its own weight, as such the impact loads on it would have been far less than if it were attached to a machine.I strongly advise caution with these things.Nicholas TomlinAlarmist - www.alarmist.com.au - we scare for you

No Nick it was crushed between the jaws & toolpost on a full size 3 phase lathethen between the chuck & bed then spat accross the machineshop over my left shoulder I do recomend the use of them for nose wheels as they an be run on flat without the tyre unbeading & they are slighty taller then the gocart/Symes type which lessens the effect of bumps & the speed/RPM at which the tyre spins as I have said before a gocart dia wheel spins @ 2000RPM at 100kmh on the ground this leads to an increase in dia of 7mm & in my opinion is to many rpm's for such a small wheel & before any of you jump on me this speed is indicitive of a 2seat takeoff with no head wind Butch S.
