Pneumatic Wheel Compendium (Serious)

Yeah, just don’t trust that the tire dimensions will match the size. Get manufacturer’s dimensions.

Chricious · January 4, 2020, 3:36pm

Any idea where to by those?

Edit: In spring at Hoyt’s

Guys are venturing in the realm of small kart tubeless race tires. 10x4" 125mph speed rated. Light weight, reliable, high grip and will wear forever. http://vegausa.com/Tires/Cadetti.htm

lol, these things look absurd, but the right kind of absurd.

Looks like they are only rated to 90mph (so take it easy! lol). They have their kph and mph switched on that page. It’s correct in the brochure.

Was looking at the vega white and put up the jr Kart tire (cadet). 10X4" is Overkill but what the hell.

This should work

And a bookmark for you good sir! Huzzah!

It looks like you found a set of 5" yourself? Where did you get those?

Chricious · January 4, 2020, 5:53pm

If you mean the airless ones, they are just 105mm

annihil8ted · January 4, 2020, 5:55pm

Not those but the ones you posted in your previous post. The ones with all the different tire sizes

Chricious · January 4, 2020, 5:57pm

They are from 6-9". 6" and 7" are Evolve 8" and 9" are MBS.

annihil8ted · January 4, 2020, 6:26pm

Ahh okay, the photos made it look smaller haha

Chricious · January 4, 2020, 10:42pm

@Broly likes them

@mbs thank you for making wheel pulleys finally!

They say they’re compatible with rockstar 2 and pro… Why not fivestar? They’re same bolt pattern and the rockstar 2 have the same hex recess.

sesat · January 13, 2020, 5:10pm

same bolt pattern, different lateral offset. You can bridge the gap with hex standoffs but the most elegant solution is a thicker pulley ala @Janux-esk8

Venom121212 · January 13, 2020, 5:19pm

Can you further explain what you mean by different lateral offset?

I know the bearing to bearing distance on the hubs are different.

Do you mean the hex recess is deeper?

akhlut · January 13, 2020, 5:32pm

You’ll need a standoff between the hub and the pulley to clear the tire.

Venom121212 · January 13, 2020, 7:06pm

Ahh I thought that was the intended use for all hubs.

I still don’t think it would rub the tire when tightened but mbs would know best. If it is meant to be flush with the hub on rockstar 2 and pros what stops the tire from rubbing ? Would be nice if they had a photo installed.

Luckily standoffs are cheap and I have them on hand. Too bad I already have pulleys.

MBS · January 13, 2020, 11:29pm

Sorry for the confusion guys. The pulleys will work with the FiveStar hubs. The main reason we don’t mention them on the site is that standard M4 pulley screws (60mm) aren’t long enough for the Fivestars. They require a 65mm screw. Once we have those screws we’ll update the description.

Venom121212 · January 13, 2020, 11:33pm

Great to see you guys moving in to the electric space. Keep up the awesome work
