MX trike finally back together

[3leggeddog]

We will be there. Im not sure if TimJr's 200X will be back together by then. Parts are supposed to get here this week, so he may not be running the trike class. I made a few minor tweaks on mine, and shoud be ready to go, running two classes again.

pivot nut back on,or are you runnin that top secret piece i hooked you up with?

I have Honda 250x hubs which gives it a little bit, and the ITP rims are offset 3+5.5 so Ive gained maybe 6 inches overall. Still not near as wide as Brandon's I dont think, but about where I want it for the track.

Nice work on the Z tim.

So what year 250x hubs work on the tri z axle Tim? I take it that's a 4/110 bolt pattern then? About how much legnth do the hubs themselves give? I really don't understant that offset rim thing.

i thought they were 400ex hubs?sorry for misleading info.i know we put 400ex hubs on derricks tri-z.made a big difference too.any year 400ex hub should work.


on the offset rim deal.you figure your offset by measuring from the part of the wheel the studs go through,to the outside lip.on most factory rims,i think they are 3-5.for example,early 200x,like 83-85,are a centerd rim,not offset.86-87 200x,have a 3-5 offset.quad front rims are a great example.if you flip them around,you notice how deep the one side is,to protect the rotors and such.thats the offset.

No, I lost it in the 2nd moto! I noticed when I went to load it. I put the original back on, and drilled the bolt and cotter pinned it! I also found a spare to carry.

250x and 400EX hubs at a glance are identical. Maybe minor differences. I found some new 400EX ones for TimJrs 200X. Not as much for width as for the longer studs so he can run any of my rims. They add maybe and inch to each side. For rim offset, think of this as sideview of your rim. The vertical line in the middle is where your hub bolts to:

This would be a rim with no offset, like a 200X stocker.

]--l--[ Offset would be 4+4 on an 8" wide rim.


Offset Rim

]---l-[ Offset would be 3+5 on 8" rim.



Sometimes stock rims are offset, with the offset inward, and you can gain width just by flipping them around. This is more common with quad front rims.
