My 250ES mini build..documented.

Oh man, that could have turned out worse! Good to see no one was hurt

Yeah they are just standard ITP steel black 4/110 12"x7" 2+5 offset rims..bolt directly on and even correct offset for front.

Then pick your tires..I went with 26x8x12 Bear Claw on the front and a pair of 26x12x12 Mud Sharks on the rear..

Nice huh?

Do you reckon 12" x 7" 4.5+2.5 offset ITP wheels would be a problem on the back? I can't tell how much difference it would make from 2+5 offset.
Any input appreciated.

Another wheel related question. Any issues running a 12" wide tire on a 7" wide wheel? I'm debating on what tire/wheel setup to run on my Big Red. I would like to step up to a 26" tire for a bit more ground clearance, but I don't like losing 2" of wheel width by going to a 12x7 from a 9x9.

After a long sabbatical from the group, I thought I'd drop in and say hi.

Lots of changes for me personally..the main one was the passing of my father and subsequent sale of mom&dad's farm. This being the place I rode since the region I live in isn't terribly friendly to trike riders..no trails or public land for riding without a long drive to trailer there.

So as a result my build had been laid up in the back of my shop for 6 years..it's time to sell the old girl!

I got it out this morning, installed a new battery and fresh gas..then cleaned it up a bit.

It could use a good going over but I'll likely leave that to the next owner!

So I posted it on Kijiji this morning and we'll see what takers..for those thinking of asking, I'm in SW Ontario. Sarnia to be specific..

Trike on brothers..this will likely be my last post as it's my last trike!!

Sorry to hear about your Dad, Doug

You have been, and will be missed, sir

Best of luck to you in the future

It was a pleasure reading your thread, thank you for sharing.
Sorry to hear of your loss, stay strong for those around you, and they will be there when you need to lean on them.

Never say never or at least "last trike", who knows you may move to a friendly trike area in the future and trike again.

Too bad Doug, thats a nice trike esp for Ontario. If i still lived there (Woodstock, family in Petrolia so not far from you) I'd love to buy it. Good luck with the sale and from a fellow canuck, party on!!!
